    I want to run 3 monitors - help

    I want to setup just like this:



    Currently I have a 24" widescreen on my left, and a 21" widscreen on my right. Have another identical 21" widescreen sitting in the closet. My videocard (nvidia 9800gt) only has 2 outputs.

    How do I do this?

            checkout a sidecar or external monitor multiplier.. then you dont have to getting extra card every time you get a new computer....

              For the optimal result, I recommend you use ATI based cards. The latest HydraVision version is miles ahead of the rest

                  Ok, just grabbed a PCI Nvidia 8400GS, 512MB DDR onboard, to go along with with my nvidia 9800GT

                  Sure hope this works, I'll be installing it later this evening.

                              if your computer is a bit older, you might not have room for another video card unless it is a PCI (i think thats the name) card which kinda suck for graphics.

                              If its newer, you should be able to get another pci express card in no problem, but dont be cheap or you will regret it.

                              If neither work, try the dual monitor thing from matrox - google it, sorry i dont have the link

                                Can I get 12 screens up ?

                                    exactly, and run ultramon.

                                    I've had 3 widescreens setup for a couple of years now, setup was easy.
