Compaq DC5800 sff: compaq dc5800 small form factor 4 monitors

My machine is a Compaq dc 5800 small form factor. Running windows 7.

Wondered what would be the best way to get four monitors to work on this machine. Different programs of 4 separate monitors 4 on each of them, what graphics card should I buyto achieve?

I have a usb to vga thing that might work for a monitor, so this means that I need a chart of small form factor card that can work 2 or do I need one that will run 3. I read that once you install a graphics card, you can't activate the onboard graphics in the bios. I don't want to have this problem. Please help me.

Thank you

You'll need a card video low - profile pci-e x 16. Even if you buy one with 3 outputs as a vga, one dvi and one HDMI usually you can only use 2.

And Yes, when you install an add-in pci-e video card, you will lose the integrated graphics card.

In order to drive the moire than 2 monitors you need a second video card, or a multiple display adapter cable. You have a pci-e available x 1 slot and there is such a thing as a video card pci-e x 1 like this:

Some of these x 1 cards actually have a quad cable optionally, you can add the display.

These are not for gaming but can run extra for things monitors as having walked fellow RSS site or desktop computers more available to work.
