ok Im currently running 2 monitors off one graphics card. Is it possible to have more than 2 by adding further PCI grpahics cards? I know its a bit adventorous and expensive but one day Id like to have something similar to the 7 or so screens that computer has in the film swordfish (probably not with 7 screens tho )

Cheers Mark

If you just go on Corsasport all the time at your computer, then you only need one screen, if you go on Corsasport and MIG then you need two screens, if you go on Corsasport, MIG and... You get the idea...

It comes in handy when your making websites, as I like to have my FTP program running, and other things like my text editor or graphics program...
