WTB: Quad Head AGP Card?         


Author: Palindrome

Hi,

I have been asked to set up a machine to drive 4 large monitors in a two
over two configuration. The only way I know how to do this is to fit 2
dual head PCI cards.

However, does anyone have any Quad Head AGP cards for sale? Or, come to
that, two identical dual head PCI cards for sale?

Would that work? I may be wrong but would one of the cards override the
other?

Your best bet is an Nvidia Quadro (Quad out) card, they have dual LFH
connections which each support 2 output with the breakout cables. Be careful
though as 'Quadro' is the model name and also comes in single and dual
output variants. I think Matrox do one too, usually pretty cheap on Ebay.

No it's fine. I used to run 1 AGP card and 2 old Matrox Millennium PCI
cards together.

AFAIR it's worked since Win98.

Apologies for butting into the thread. Niel, could you drop me an email
when you have a moment. I don't seem to have a valid addy for you and
don't want to use the ebay system for my question.

My posted addy works.
