How do you connect six monitors to a CPU is there a special card for this?

Answer 1

You need a video card(s) designed for multiple monitors. NVIDIA and ATI both have video cards specifically designed for multiple monitor set-ups (i.e. financial trading). The NVIDIA Quadro NVS line and the ATI Fire GL line are the ones to look at. The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440 can handle up to 4 monitors, so you would need two video cards for 6 monitors. It's not a good idea to try these cards with Vista yet...stick with XP until the drivers are more mature. I have a NVS 440 with Vista and it is unstable. I have a NVS 280with XP in a different computer and it works great. Personaly I have never tried to connect 6 monitors to a computer. I have done a little research in the area of multiple monitors and this was what i found first try thru flight sim's pilot shop.below is a way to get there but, I think it would be wise to do a deeper search for what you want.I just gave up for the moment because after I saw the price for some thing like what you are asking about well,hem caugh caugh well you will see. hint: $$$ if you go here to ---> http://www.fspilotshop.com and in the search engine type Matrox Triplehead2go then click search. this will show you a couple options which 1 of them is the matrox. just click on it and it will give you a better idea of what you should be looking for. I hope I have helped you out even if it was just a better idea of how to look for what you want, and as an avide flight sim pilot I love to here some one else thinking of doing the same thing as I my self. even if it is for different reasons. Good Luck on your search my friend and oh yeah try to repost here with your final out come.
