help! don't know which Mediator to buy!

Hello all, I've for a long time wanted to upgrade my miggy, and the next step for her is a tower case and mediator. I've found a box thats cheaper than the d-box on amigakit.com, and it seems to handle both the 1200 mediator cards. I'm torn between buying the one with 4 PCI slots, or 6. The thing I need to know first is if I put more than one GFX card in a mediator, can I run multiple monitors, each with their own content? (I use VNC alot, and it would be nice to display the windows XP desktops on 2 monitors, with workbench on a third, also handy to have Ibrowse on one, Amigawriter on another, and WB/File manager on a third) Ideally I want to run 3 different monitors, which I have lying around doing nothing, and will get the 6 port if this is possible. I'd need the other 3 for a 100mbps ethernet, a sound card, and whatever other gizmo I can slap into the last one. Otherwise, the one with 4 ports would be fine. Anybody try this before?

Personally, I wouldn't waste money on Classic hardware. If you can't find an AmigaOne for sale, save your money until you can buy new PPC hardware.

I think you can indeed use 3 different screens for different apps. However, this is very different from having a multi-screen desktop. Are you sure this is what you want?

If you want to do things like move the mouse off the left hand side of one screen and come onto the right of the other then I'm afraid you're out of luck. And to be honest because the Amiga has such good screen-handling anyway, you don't gain much by having three monitors.

We don?t know how long we going to wait for new OS4 hardware that?s the problem, it might take any thing from 6 months to 2 years, this is a crazy market, and buy what you can when you can, that?s it.

There's another little gadget I found (I posted it on here somewhere) That takes a 3072x768 resolution screen and converts it into 3 separate 1024x768 outputs, though I'd have to find a device that can output such a resolution. But I'd then be able to move the mouse between different screens. I'm more concerned with driving 3 different monitors that have potentially different screen resolutions, and willing to LAmiga M to flip through them. Also, with all the MUI apps I run, I can just assign different programs with the screen manager. Plus I can load "default" MUI apps with wbstartup to initialize the monitors on startup. (I am kinda going for a flashy system, to rub it in the noses of some windows junkies I know lol)
