P35 - multiple video cards?

Hi everyone, so I'm looking to do a new build with a Q6600 + a P35 board, but was wondering which board(s) would work best to use two video cards in (both pci-x if possible). I was hoping to hook up 3 LCD's + 1 Plasma, so ideally I would use a 8600GTS or ATI 24/2600 to drive one LCD and one plasma (to get HD decoding) and then a lower-end card with dual dvi to drive two LCD's.

So, would there be any issues in having that sort of setup with say a P5K or DQ6? I've read that the cards should ideally be both nvidia's or both ati's to reduce driver issues, but most of the threads i've read deal with pci-x + pci setups. Thanks for the help!
 
you can use two ATi or two nVIDIA cards to drive multiple monitors.
I'd suggest a P5K Deluxe rev1.01G

Successfully run two nVIDIA PCI-Express cards on the P5K Deluxe & the P5K3 Deluxe 😉
 
Ah, great to hear! The card that runs on the 2nd x16 slot won't complain that it's running at less than 16x then right?
 
thanks for the replies everyone! guess i'll just be on the lookout for a good deal on one of the above-mentioned boards. 🙂
