How many video cards?

[rookie1]

Help!

I am taking ownership of an application that requires web data to be displayed to 3-4 TV screens. Note: the screens all display unique information.

The previous owner used 4 PC desktops and 4 AGP cards to set up the requirement.

I need to backup this info as well as add monitoring tools so would prefer to consolidate everything to 1 server if possible.

I understand that the AGP card has dual output - one to TV sceen and the other to the monitor.

I am aware there are VGA to video converters on the market that will allow me to display the VGA component onto another TV screen.

Will Linux or W2000 allow me to add an additional PCI network card to display via another VGA to video converter?

Finally, will either OS allow me to add 2 PCI network cards?


Thanking you in advance for any information.

Cheers.

Either of those OS's even win 98 will alow lots of netweork cards. I have two in mine now. Have worked on others with 4 or 5 in them at once.

Why AGP? You dont need it. There are pci cards with tv out. run 3 of them instead. 3 pci+ one agp=4 tv outputs.
