question about multiple video cards

[Dan Lewis]

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

You will have to put the four video cards in four computers and use special
software to integrate them across four monitors...
See link for details below..Or Google search "multiple monitor software" for
more info..

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
