Can anyone help me ?
I need to build a pc and have 8 screen outputs.
Where do I start? 😎
If I buy a pc with SLI cards which will have 2 DVI outputs on each therefor total of 4 outputs can I split the screen res to another 4 screens using 4 DVI splitters.
I have been asked to put this together for a local squadron that will use it for training and are looking for 8 screens for viewing as many panels and scenery as possible.
TIA
Why don't you try it and see what happens, trial & error. I think 3 screens is reasonable enough for FSX IMO.
yaeh 8 screens seem like alot, maybe like 4 but a friend of mine spent over $7,000
for a homebuilt computer with 5screens
If 8 screens is really important, then consider using Wideview. Onr PC, no matter how powerful, will never run more than 2 or 3 monitore with FSX and SP1 at present. Wideview with lesser PCs is a much better solution.

Can you please tell me more about wide view or give me a link to read.
TIA
I have found this...
http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/MATMIL92
.. which does show that I can extend from 1 monitor out put to widescreen (3 monitors).
Does the game allow me to take advantage of the widescreen effect to this degree?
So, I am thinking if this does work then I can at least to to 6 monitors from 2 separate cards like SLI. Is that right? If so what would you all recommend I get?
Which CPU will get the best results? Core 2 Duo or a RAW P4 3GHZ type CPU? Or should I go for AMD?
I also need advice on which MOBO to get that will take loads of RAM maybe 4GB or more.

Most people have problems enough running the pig on 1 monitor - Good luck!!
Take a look at the Wideview web site: www.wideview.com
Sorry, the link is www.wideview.it
i think you need to go for nvidia quadro cards as they can support 4 monitors each
2 4500x2's and theres your 8 DVI outputs.
