Re: Custom Computers Vs. Best Buy

forsearch - most modern video cards can support two monitors, either dual dvi, or one dvi + one vga, so if you want 4 monitors, you could run 2 mainstream dual dvi cards, provided you got a motherboard that can take 2 graphics cards.

If you want more than 4 monitors, you're looking at something more specialised - either two computers, or specific multi monitor cards - I don't know a huge amount about these, but googling "matrox" would be a good start.


Sledge - pretty much all PCs these days are capable of running two monitors straight out the box - most graphics cards have 2 connectors - either 2x DVI, or 1x DVI and 1xVGA.
