Method and system for enabling multiple VGA cards to process image data

摘要

A method and system for enabling multiple video graphics array (VGA) cards to process image data are disclosed. Specifically, one embodiment of a graphics system includes a first video graphics array (VGA) card having a first and a second connection ports, a second VGA card having a first and a second connection ports, a third VGA card having a first and a second connection ports, and a connecting device for electronically connecting the first, the second, and the third VGA cards via connections that transfer data. The connecting device is further configured to connect the first connection port of the first VGA card to either the first or the second connection port of the second VGA card and connect the second connection port of the first VGA card to either the first or the second connection port of the third VGA card.
