The four-monitor arrangement this microsoft guy was using was a crossfire setup consisting of x1900xtx's... (but thats not the point :D) He also has a PC with NVIDIA cards running the same array of displays. Pretty slick !There is a lot of great hardware on the market today that can allow you to replicate this arrangement yourself — all you need is a motherboard that supports two PCI-Express x-16 video cards. NVIDIA has a solution that puts up to 4 video cards to use on a PC called SLI™. If you have a system running NVIDIA, get more information from SLI™ from their website. http://www.nvidia.com/ You should note that many high-end video cards today are shipping with a dual-monitor option — so while four monitors may be a bit of overkill, two might better suit you (and your wallet!). The good news is that Windows Vista is designed to natively accommodate multiple-monitor scenarios; for example, you can configure Windows Sidebar to appear on any connected monitor without first requiring preliminary adjustments.But the main advantage here is multitasking... Surfing the net on one monitor while u are gaming on another as well as trying to finish your work on a 3rd monitor all at the same time... lol...

Its just that he is not using the technic of SLI, only mulitple graphics card.
In fact it would not be smart to use a high end graphics card just to more screens.
