3-4 monitor setup - Running two PCI Express 16x video cards

[imported_KuJaX]

Hey Everyone,

I am going to be building a system for a friend and he is using the DFI Ultra-D motherboard with X2 4200+ processor. He wants capabilities to run 3 to 4 monitors. Since the motherboard has two PCI Express 16x slots, we figured we could put in two of the same model 256mb X300se video cards, two monitors per card. Will this work?

I'm pretty sure it will as long as you don't enable SLI.

why waste money on the 256 version of those cards?

maybe he wants to run high resolution presentations or videos on all the monitors at once?

Why get the 128mb version that costs the exact same? (seriously though, any advantages?)
