    Hi guys - a friend of mine wants to do the following:

    run 4 monitors
    use pci express
    ati gfx if possible

    can this be done? If so what hardware do you recommend?

    Cheers! :thumb:

    as far as I know, you can... just buy a motherboard with two PCI-Express x16 interconnects and two ATI video cards - they should work together in the desktop environment just fine
