I surpose you could buy a dual-head graphics card like most of the ATI and NVidia cards being offered, along with 2 Matrox TH2Go. You *should* then be able to spread your desktop over the 6 screens. Im not sure how a system would react to 2 TH2Go's installed at the same time, hopefully someone with one will be able to help you :). |

You would probably want to drive it with sli-ed graphics or a single 8800gtx at the least and saying you have 6 plasmas or are using that many you probably have the money for the hardware ex sli or a 8800gtx |

Yeah, depends what he wants to do with it of course. I cant imagine how that manu screen would work for gaming (realistically :) - yes ive seen that video of Quake 3 on 12 screens ;)). I automatically assumed it was for somthing non gaming related? Then again... :) |

yeah thats right, ist not gaming related, its for presentations, video playback and such things... so if i use for example 2 video card for 2x2 tv's, do i need a special software? or windows can split the signal in 4 parts? i ask this because right now i can use dual monitor using the 2 outputs of my current card (x800xt) but if i use the option "extend my windows desktop", the Start bar only appears on the primary screen, and if i try to see video on fullscreen, it only appears on 1 screen, the other one stays black... |

You want the screens in a 6x1 setup, right? I think you want to look at some of Matrox's other GPUs. Even if you use 2 th2g in spanning mode (something matrox doesn't support, btw), I believe vdeo playback wont work properly across both halfs. StatIc images might not be an issue though. you need something to synchronize the playback, but I would try rendering your video in 2 halfs and using a th2g in two systems. But honestly I think Matrox has something to do this in one system. |

the idea is to use a 3 x 2 setup, and play videos, images expanded to all of them and images in each one... any software that can do this? |

If you're not planning on gaming, there is no need for a TripleHead2Go (or two of them, for that matter). Just get 3 dual-heads GPUs, hook up six monitors, expand your Windows desktop, and use the GUI to arrange them in the proper geometry. |
