Go-l.com's site doesn't even work! Go to the page you linked, then click any of the other links like "3D" and they don't go anywhere.

The only page of "3D" doesn't work. Dont ask me why. contact Go-I's customer service and report a broken link.

What graphics card do you suppose you would need to drive the L-Athens 5-screen monitor?

Windows supports up to nine video monitors - which can be arranged into a tic-tac-toe arrangement resulting in one huge screen.

All you need is a few video cards.

well, to be honest, i've seen these kind of monitors 4 years ago, the creator back then was "panoramtech". www.panoramtech.com if they still exist.

personally, i was just thinking about buying one of those old sony rear-projection televisions. they change hands for about 200$ secondhand now

anyway, the computer that can supply these acreens with moving screens are also not that cheap. a G5 won't accept more than 2 videocards, so if you add another card, it will cost you processorpower.

I'm dreaming of a 30" Apple monitor.

Probably.

If OSX can do 'monitor spanning', there's likely some way it can support more than just 2 monitors.

Maybe there's a 3rd-party app if OSX is limited to 2 monitors.

Apparently it isn't a big deal - Windows98 was capable of 9-monitor spanning.

The most I ever had connected was 3.

If you have a couple of video cards laying around, stick 'em in your Mac and see what happens.
