But there is another limit that I have reached on the 7600 and that rather
spoils the possibilities: my PCI slots are full. Which brings me to a
question and a serious one because though I am not wanting to add a fourth
monitor for now, I might want to free up a pci slot for a decent scsi card
or some other card. The question is this, are there any video pci cards that
can take more than one monitor and yet preserve the arrangement of all
monitors (including the one on the videoram onboard the 7600) as one
continuous screen?
Yes. The Radeon 7000 Mac Edition (though not flashed PC versions and the very earliest Radeon Mac Edition) has VGA, DVI and S-Video ports on it. The VGA and DVI ports can be connected to different monitors at the same time, and your onboard video will be recognized as well.
This is the card I use on my system at home and I'm quite satisfied with it.
The new Radeon 9x000 (I forget the number) also does this, with more vram. It's the replacement for the 7000 and costs roughly $125.
