Looking to run 4 30" displays at max resolution.

I am looking to run 4 30" DELL monitors at 2560X1600 each. Fortunately not for gaming, just for huge desktop space.

The primary card is easy as there are so many options with the X19xx series, the 7900 series I think, and some FireGL and NVIDIA Quadro cards.

There are no quad cards that I have seen that can even come close to 2560x1600x4 so I need a second card.

The problem is that I need the second card to be either PCI or 1X PCI-Express. I cannot count on having the second x16 slot as I am not building the machine. I have seen some cards like this, but none of them explicitly mention dual DVI with 2560x1600 supported on each output.

Is there maybe an online database which lists the Dual-Link DVI options.

Thanks

If the system hasn't been built yet, the easiest answer would be to make sure that it includes a motherboard with two 16x PCIe slots on it...

Unfortunately the workstation will be purchased, most likely from DELL and do not have dual 16x slots. If there will be a second one then it is not a problem, but most likely a 1x PCIe or PCI card will be needed.

HIS X1550 512MB is one card in 1x PCIe format with fual DVI, but it might only have one Dual-Link DVI port, or it could he perfect. A single slot solution would be better.

MATROX PARHELIA DL256MB PCI has one Dual Link DVI port and says the second is not Dual link, but it is PCI.
