[Paraview] Off topic : Multiple Graphics cards (display:0 display:1) on windows

On linux, an X server will provide display:0, display:1 for two graphics 
cards on a single node. This works fine.

Can the same thing be done on windows in a reasonably straightforward 
manner?

I'd like to know if it's possible to have a dual/quad cpu machine with 
dual graphics cards and use 2 instances of pvserver as I would do under 
linux.

Google tells me that this extension WGL_NV_gpu_affinity exists, but I 
would expect we'd need to muck about inside vtkWin32OpenGlRenderWindow 
and/or related classes to make this work.

Has anyone any experience of this or similar technologies that would 
make the job easy/possible.

thanks

JB
