8 Monitor setup with 3 video cards + onboard video

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am trying to build a 8-monitor computer. I was wondering if I could just throw in 3 video cards into this ASrock motherboard with ATI 4200 onboard video and have 8 working displays. Will it work?

Also, if it does work, does it have to be 3 ATI cards, or can I throw in 3 Nvidia cards and use them with onboard ATI video?

Unless I'm mistaken, the onboard will only drive 1 display. And I think in this case you are allowed to switch brands and models between them, since they are only being used for 2d.
