Assuming you are talking about a individual workstation, and not some kind
of IT network monitoring box, Matrox Parhelia is going to be your best
choice for this. I have been doing multi monitor for a decade and no other
manufacturer does it as well as Matrox drivers. Period. Nobody is even close.
I have been using ATI AIW for a few years now... well one box still has a
couple of G450s, and ATI SUCKS when it comes to multi monitor. They really
don't want to support it, they discourage it, you can not install two ATI
cards in the same box without tricking the drivers. And even then it isn't
worth all the trouble.
If you want more then three monitors on one card, then you get into very
expensive Matrox commercial cards. If you want four or five then get the
Parhelia and then a couple of 40 dollar PCI G450s on Ebay. Stick then all
in, install the constantly updated Matrox drivers, and your done. Lots of
useful multi monitor features with the Matrox drivers, plus what PCMAG
called the gold standard for 2D. Bottom line is that Matrox has built
their retail reputation on 2D and multi monitor, a field left pretty much
to them.
