You have one of these correct? http://www.cooltechpc.com/c/ctpc/std/sku=quadro.html

In order to add another head to your setup, you can do it with any PCI /AGP/ or PCI-E graphics card. All you need to do is open up the display properties window, and click on the settings tab. then you can click on the other monitor, and check the box that says extend my display onto this monitor. That will extend the desktop onto the 5th monitor, and you can arrage them as they sit on the desk.

It would probably be a good idea to stick with a second quadro card, as it will be the most compatible with what you have already. If you can add a second PCI-E card, I would do that over a PCI card since it will have more bandwidth on the bus.
