Asus Motherboard question

I'm looking at buying this motherboard
http://ca.asus.com/en/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z77V_PRO/#specifications

Can someone tell if I could use the buildin graphics adapter with 3-4 monitors if I had the proper adapter conversions?

It support these type of ports

Multi-VGA output support : HDMI/DVI/RGB/DisplayPort ports
- Supports HDMI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
- Supports DVI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
- Supports RGB with max. resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz
- Supports DisplayPort with max. resolution 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz

According to the CPU support list, these 2 CPUs each support 3 monitors with their onboard GPU.
Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor
(8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) http://ark.intel.com/products/65719/

Intel® Core™ i3-3225 Processor
(3M Cache, 3.30 GHz) http://ark.intel.com/products/65692

I assume that most supported CPUs will do the same but best to check.

Info is in the Graphics Specifications section.

If you install 2 identical CrossFire cards (or 2 SLI cards) in the x16 slots, you should be able to run 4 (assuming the 2 cards have 4 ports between them).
