Default 4 displays

A friend of mine wants to have 4 monitors attached to his vista PC, and is
looking at two cards both with 2 vga outputs. My question is simply whether
vista will allow these to be configured as 2 up and 2 down rather than as a
single wide virtual display of 4 across.

TIA.

Yes, you can mix monitor rotations in Vista - having some monitors vertical,
others horizontal. Your monitor must support rotation for this to work
correctly.

And yes, you can also set them up as 2*2 (what the OP asked for).
