Adding additional graphics card to run 4 monitors

[Papillon]

Hi,

I would like to buy a new system which I will use to run 4 x 24"monitors. Am I right in thinking all I need to do is add an additional graphics card with 2 x DVI outputs to be able to do this? Does the second graphics card have to be the same as the first one? And is an ATI Radeon 4850 card adequate to run 24" monitors at maximum resolution for office work (no gaming)?

Thanks

It'd run them for office work no problem - you don't even need something as powerful as a 4850 for 2 x 1920x1200 screens when gaming isn't involved.

I'd personally get two of the same graphics card to minimise problems with driver conflicts, but in theory you can mix them afaik.

Thanks for the reply (very quick!). I am looking to get a pre-built OCUK system - can you see anything that might fit the bill?
