Hmm.. That's easier with a PCI Express system. Get two graphics cards, each with two DVI-out ports. Then you have the ability to run four monitors.

You need a motherboard with 2 PCI-Express 16x slots.

Oh yeah, that's right. So, you should look for a motherboard with two x16 slots, even if they can only run at x8 with two cards inserted.

Just buy a Matrox QID ... as long as you are not into gaming.

Don't enable SLI. Enabling SLI will instantly disable the second card for 3D game acceleration only.
