I work for a company that wants to setup a Video Wall. Is it possible to use a PC that has integrated Video plus two PCI Video Cards (Each card has 2 VGA outputs) to get 5 displays?

Thanks,
Brian
 
its probably easier to have 1 in agp and 1 in pci, but people have been doing that since 3dfx's classic cards, the voodoo's..it should work as long as nothing conflicts..older cards had set irqs that couldnt change...newer cards shouldnt be a problem tho
 
If you are going to use the on-board video, you cannot do as phaelinx suggested, as that on-board video would be using AGP.
But your original suggestion of onboard+2 PCI should work fine, provided all are newer cards that support multi-card setups.
Windows 2k/XP will support up to 12 displays (16 if you use Matrox cards), Win98/ME will support 16.
