    Looking to get a computer and I have questions about SLI.

    I want to run two or more high-end color-accurate monitors (haven't looked at specifics yet) plus a television mounted on the wall.

    I'm looking at two NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2GB PCIe cards
    OR, for close to the same price, I could get a single Quadro 5000 2.5GB card.
    They both come with one Dual Link DVI-I port and two DisplayPorts.

    First question, I assume it would be better to get the two 4000s SLI'd, correct?
    Second, it seems to me this would be a more-bang-for-the-buck solution than upgrading to the 5000, right?
    Third, and I have no clue about this, if two 4000s are SLI'd, do I still get the use of all the monitor ports (6 total)?

    Thanks!
