I need a reasonably priced 4 head video card. 3d capabilities do not matter, Needs good driver support, etc. Anyone have recommendations?
 
Matrox. Search for quad vga on ebay, there are quite a few of them.
 
hmm... i didnt know there were quad head vid cards. if u build a SLI setup with dual-headed geforces u can get quad head !?
 
If you don't need 3d, Matrox makes nice cards with great 2d image quality. I've seen some in our engineering dept that have 4hds on them. G450's or G500's I think they are.
 
I have a client that needs to run 8 monitors.
The 4 head matrox's are pricey. 4 to 6 hundred a pop, but hey, I'm not payin for em.
 
Matrox, has a gizmo, that splits up the signal to 3 monitors at a time, check it out. Maybe if you have a dual head card, you could use two of them, not sure though, but worth looking in to ? If his setup allows the use of the onboard (if equipped) graphics also, like ATI's 200 chipset, maybe that would get him there. Just a few thoughts.

Yeah, nearly everyone on here will recommend Matrox. They make fantastic products for quality 2D rendering.... I can remember having a Millennium WAYYY back in the day, and it was fantastic on my 19" CRT. *SIGH* I also had a Black Magic 3D.... I was a bit of a nub back then and didn't realize that the Millennium I had actually had BETTER 3D quality built on the chip than the dongle-attached 3D card. I still have those cards sitting "somewhere" in a PC....

you can always get a few pci vid cards with dual heads i have extra pci cards in a few pcs to run extra monitors on not sure if there is any draw back to my technique but works fine for me
