Smile Multiple monitors using one OS

Can any one give advice on drivers for multiple monitors?

I am aware that three monitors is the maximum that can be run from one OS.

I am wanting to run multiple monitors with one OS using different information on each monitor.

can you use more than three???

I Currently use two monitors on Windows XP, with a Geforce 6800GT dual-DVI card. The nvidia drivers will only allow two display devices (two monitors or a monitor plus TV) per card, so to run more than two screens, you need two or more cards - or a specialist card. As far as I am aware you can run as many screens as you have graphics cards to drive them, so with two graphics cards you could easily drive four screens, and so on.

With four PCI Quad Matrox G450 MMS cards you could have sixteen screens!
