    Advice on getting a triple monitor set up

    I have dual monitors right now, running off a good graphics card, an nVidia 128meg.

    I really want to add another monitor.

    Can I just stick another graphics card in and run the 3rd monitor from that?

    Or will I need any other specific hardware/software?

    Will XP run this set up ok or will I need a different version of windows?

    I have seeen several photos on here of people running multiple monitor set ups, so any advice from you guys would be very much appreciated.

    thanks!

      Just throw in another card and BAM!

      It's just as easy to add a third as it was to add the 2nd. Windows XP will be fine too.

      There is a chance there will be a mother board issue with the two video cards but it's not likely. Should be no trouble at all.

          If you're going to put in a second graphics card think seriously about getting two PCI express cards and that way you can kick it up to 4 monitors if you want.

          You're going to have to buy a second card so why not build in some room for expansion while you doing it?

                You can plug in 3 cards (pcis) in the comp, it will work. Just watch your neck when you´re done..
