Does anyone know how to run 12 monitors from 1 machine?
I have been told that no Windows version can support more than 10 monitors.
I am using an Intel dp35dp motherboard with 1 PCI Express x16, 3 PCI Express
1x and 3 conventional PCI slots.
The processor is quad core and I would like to run Windows XP pro 64 bit

With some limitations, you could use a device like a TripleHead2Go, to
take a 3840 x 1024 signal, and make signals for three 1280 x 1024 monitors
with it. It isn't giving any extra pixels, but it does allow more
monitor real estate. There are different versions of this thing, and
the Matrox site is not designed to make customer searches easy.

In principle, using five dual head cards (the ten monitor limit) and
then using ten Triplehead2go units, you could drive 30 monitors with
some resolution limits.

Depends on exactly what you want to do. If you want the
same images on all monitors you can do this with a device
that splits and amplifies the signal. Something like this
will do the job

If you want different information on each monitor the
problem gets more difficult. See:
