Cindy, I'm doing it both ways: multiple display machines and I do have one with video cards on two different busses (at least I think so) one triple head PCI-X and one Quad on PCIe...
I've found that if the card has 256Mb Ram on it (video card) it does OK. One of the quad cards is a PCIe 1X card and does fine. But I haven't gone past 7 displays this way (on a single machine). -John -- John I.
