Hey guys,

I have 4 Samsung 152N 15" LCDs, and I am trying to set up a quad monitor system.

I have a GF3 ti200 as my main card, and have purchased 3 matching pci tnt2 16mb cards.

I can get 3 monitors no problem (My AGP + 2 PCI cards), but can never manage to get my last PCI card to work. It's not the physical card, because I can swap them around, and there are no exclamation marks in device manager, they all show up as installed properly; however, when I go to display settings, I only get 3 monitors. Furthermore, no combination of PCI slots seems to make a difference.

Ideas?

Have you checked with nVidia to insure they support this many cards in one machine? The TNT2 is pretty old and it might be that their drivers only support a certain limit for whatever hardware reason. XP supports up to 10 monitors but that's assumming an ideal driver and video card support.

hmm, I havent checked that- however I wasnt aware that nvidia had anyone i could phone or anything? These are OEM cards, and there is no real manufacturer on them, they seem to just be reference design.

Who would I talk to?

Should've looked for a GF2/4MX that has dual outs, as that is FAR more likely to work in the configuration you are looking at. :)

yes go with dual G450's. I have a tripple monitor setup and using a Radeon 9100 for the main and running the two secondary off the G450 works great. and thier cheap I got mine for 25 off ebay.
