Maximum Video Board Supported

[pchan]

I am helping my friend create a advertisement system that displays news, prices, ads, etc. There will be a total of 6 monitors (LCD). Is there a system that can do this? I was thinking of powerpoint and a product call powershow that displays to multiple monitors. Just need to know if I can support six monitors on a single pc running XP?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll research it.

Will you be displaying the same screen on each monitor or will it be different slides per monitor? If you want the same screen to display on all of the monitors the solution is simple. get a 6 way SVGA splitter (with built in amplifier) i.e.

I am actually looking to display different powerpoint slides, TV, etc. on each different monitor.

Thanks anyway!
