What platform are you on?
Win98 supports the use of multiple monitors ( most popular cards are
supported, the current list is at )
Of course, with
6 monitors.. not many computers have 6PCI ( or 5PCI and 1AGP
slots ) If you want a low-cost, multiple monitor set up.. I'd look at the
Matrox Millennium series. Either the PCI G100 or G200 "dual head" cards will
work. This way, you only need three videocards to run six monitors.
On my NT box, I use a G400Max to support two monitors ( LOVE this videocard
for 2D work.. stunning quality at high resolutions ) without a hitch.
Unfortunately, it's only an AGP card.
So, assuming you are on an AGP computer.. you may want a G400 as your main
card.. and two G100/200 dualhead cards
