Hey all, what kind of video card will let me run 4 monitors on one carputer? I'm looking to be able to show any application, on any monitor.
Thanks for the help
Various mfgs make dual/quad head video cards. No idea what your running or what slots you have open. So you could run two dual vgas or one quad.
A lot of normal video cards (ati,nvidia) will do both, even if on is only composite/svideo.
Try googing "dual head vga" or "quad head vga"
how many slots do you have on your mobo?
Multi-monitor video cards
Standard dualhead cards are available from all major manufacturers, including ATI, Matrox and Nvidia. Special-purpose multi-monitor video cards are available from the following manufacturers:

If you have the space, all you need is 4 video cards (assuming your running windows) and windows will handle the configuration...hell you could get $5 used vga isa cards if you have a pc with isa slots in it and it will still work. It will do exactly what you described in your opening post. The only catch is hardware resource availability in your pc. But just try it and it should work
