Will that work? Anyone doing that, working with 2-4 monitors on the same comp?

Yes, it works. I used to have that same setup but I got sick of having 4 monitors on my desk. Kind of a pain in the ass having to turn my head 90 degrees to see the monitor on the other side. Then IM's would pop up and I wouldn't notice them for like 10 minutes because I'm so absorbed with something on another screen.

I plan on mounting 6 LCD monitors on my wall and run them all

Hmm yeah... I had 2 21" before and understand what you mean. Maybe 2 or 3 is better than 4....

Why dont you just use a matrox parhelia card that can handle 4 monitors at a time? Putting 2 graphics cards on different busses can give unpredicatable results (agp is faster than pci) you might see a slightly slow response on the pci connected monitors. We use the matrox cards and they are the shit

yes it works but i suggest you config them vertically not horizontally so you don't end up with neck pain
