PCI with 4 graphics cards each running one desktop per monitor?

Is it possible to run 4 older style PCI cards and each to output a seperate monitor? My board will hold 4 PCI cards, I just need to know if this is possible and which software would be needed to run on the main desktop to output to all 4?





Thanks.

Certainly, as of Windows 98 SE, full support of multiple monitors (up to 9) was available provided that you met the following requirements.





1. All cards are PCI or greater, including the intergrated graphics adapter (if any).





2. You are running Windows 98 SE or later.





Simple enough? Not really, next you gotta tell Windows which monitor is where (goto where you change the res. and drag each monitor until you have them arranged as they are on your desk. This way, when you move your mouse toward another monitor, the mouse pointer goes to the direction of the monitor targeted rather then just popping up on whichever monitor is set for the target.) Did that make sense?





You have to also tell Windows (in the same location) to EXTEND YOUR DESKTOP... This means use more than one graphics adapter.





It's a lot of fun but we should point out that there is always one default monitor (for some games or ful lscreen video playback. So select your #1 card and monitor accordingly.





Hope this helps. (For more info, read the Windows 98 SE Manual, they have good basic instructions and help you to understand the technology so you can do a better job of configuring the system.
