Requesting Quad video card recommendations.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I wish to use 4 12" bloomberg lcd display on my older desktop.
A Tyan 1863 dual processor board.
Is there an older model quad vga output video card?
I do not game, just lots of text display with some video.
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Frank.

I seen this on eBay. If your not looking for new, maybe it
would work for you.

This is the first quad card I ever seen. I'd guess there are others as
well though, and may be better.

This is in my watch list, does the pic look like an AGP card?
Text says PCI. Time for a question!

There are more, like the Matrox G200 4-head version or the Appian
Geronimo...

now the big question, will it run the vga lcd's.
permedia3 based J2K loves them.
Appian (radeon ve) Hurricane's both AGP and PCI did not, would drive
one or one and a CRT but not both.
