System: generic P4 based system, XP Pro SP2

I want to put 4 PCI video cards in this system, each connected to a
seperate 17" LCD, wall mounted, and have it display video/DVD spread
across the 4 monitors (2 top, 2 bottom). Is this possible (haven't
tried this, wanted to know if it would work before I acquired the 4
video cards).

Will WMP10 play the DVD across the 4 monitors, or would I need a
different piece of software to do this (if it's even possible)?

TIA

XP supports up to 10 displays. But you'd better check things out before you
purchase anything.

Check out these articles as a starting place for research before you aquire
the extra adapters:
