well, you can do it with sli but dont but it in sli mode or you can do what am doing 1 gfx which can support 2 screens and a pci gfx for the 3rd screen

two graphics cards, basically. unless you have a matrox parhelia or the matrox triple head-2-go thingy wotsit.

i got an 8800gtx and a 7300gt. 3 monitors no sweat. 4? no problems.

I have three.

2 gfx cards

8800 driving WS 22"

256mb 5200 driving two 17 " either side of the WS

I'm running three atm also, Nvidia 8800gtx running main panel and ATI X600 running 2 x panels either side, can be a bit of a nack sometimes getting them to work together, I used to run a 6200 with my 8800gtx but allways gave me problems when updating the drivers, try going for a working combination like I or some of the other posters have reccomended :-)

i know what you mean. it was a bit of a headache getting my 7300 and my 8800 to play together in xp. luckily in vista it seems to be fine

Alternatively - you can use onboard graphics if you have it. I used to have a Nvidia based mobo which had a 6100 built in - ran that alongside my 7800GTX giving me 3 monitors.

Cards that use the same drivers are easy to run multiple screens on. (6100 + 7 series)

It was hell to get my 7600gt and 8800gtx working together for the desktop and keeping the performance of the gtx in games.

In theory you could combine a dual head graphics cards and a matrox triple head to go to run 6 monitors!

Although I don't know what you would use them all for
