I am currently using an NVidia Quadro FX500 video adapter that is supporting two monitors. I want to add two additional monitors to this configuration. Can I install a second display adapter to support two more monitors without the two cards interfering with each other...or what would be the suggested configuration to support a total of four monitors. (Each monitor will be displaying different applications.)

My main processor is a 2.4 GHz. Pentium IV Xeon processor and has a second slot for another processor...I am hoping to add the second processor along with more memory as well.

The computer is a Dell Precision 450 Workstation.

Windows XP Pro will support up to four monitors. So go ahead and stick another card in.
Running four monitors will be a CPU resource hog, so I hope you have some horse power.

You can do this...just make sure you have a free port to plug the video card into. There is only one AGP slot on a motherboard, but ther are multiple PCI slots, so you will probably have to get a PCI card if you aleardy have an AGP card installed.

NO NO NO NO, you can not add another video card unless you buy a new computer basicly, because you need a Crossfire(ATi) or SLI(nVidia) motherboard and the right graphics cards to go with it, so, you cant.
