yes that would work fine. however i would recommend to get a matrox triplehead2go converter, so you need only a single (dual-headed) gfx card and you will still be able to run up to 6 screens with that. personally i think that going through the hazzle of installing more than 1 gfx card is only worth it, if you need to run more than 6 screens. > > I also want to get some video input from a camera or dvd or a VJ, I read > on this list nice things about the Canopus ADVC-110 so I guess this is a > good option but since I don't need it to be external maybe someone can > recommend a nice internal card that works nice on Linux. generally all that uses dv as transport, will add quite a lot of latency to the video. best thing would be to use some analog grabber card i have good experience with brooktree/conexant bt8x8 chips (as found on hauppauge and other cards) msdfts IOhannes
