Apparently, Intel is preparing a special driver for its Grantsdale-G aka i915G-based mainboards that would allow plugging up to 4 monitors to one personal computer without using any special expensive graphics cards, sources close to the Santa Clara, California-based company said.

  1. wow! 4 moinitor support with an integrated graphics system. wonder how the 3d performance will fair.
  2. Doesn't the nForce IGP allow for that allready ?Two integrated outputs & an extra Dua Display card on the PCI or AGP slot.Those things aren't really meant for 3D anyways ( except the nForce 2 one ). They're mostly for people who needs lots of displays constantly like people looking at stock markets.
