Hello everyone,

I have a setup question - need multiple monitors setup on my dell T20 poweredge mini tower, the T20 has:
- Xeon E3-1225
- 4GB (will expand to 32GB)
- 4 Slots,
1x16 (x16, G3) / 1x16 (x4, G2) / 1x1 (x1, G2) / 1 x PCI Slot

The main job of this setup is to run multiple VMs to do selenium auto testing and each VM will connect to one monitor (preferably up to 6). What's my best option to make this work? Like which graphics card to buy?

Thanks,
- lorinsz84

You're on the Sandy Bridge platform of the Xeon architecture. Unfortunately even if you had access(financially) to a GPU, you're going to be limited to GTX600 series or equivalent AMD counterpart due to an incompatible UEFI BIOS environment. You could read into this thread.
