Default Anyone have more than 2 moonitors?

I just got another 24" monitor to add to my dual 24" dells that I already had. I got a new video card and I still can only use 2 monitors at once. Anyone out there that can help me get the 3rd one working somehow? Any information is appreciated, thanks in advance. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Get a videocard that specifically supports 3 monitors.
Or put a second video card in the machine.

Do you put those all side by side? That would be ridiculously wide.

I have 2 video cards, but apparently they cannot both be enabled. I went into the BIOS and it only gave me the option to use 1 video adapter and wouldn't let me use both the pci and pci-e slots for some reason. Anyone know if there is any way to get around this?

that bios setting doesn't enable/disable your video card. it just lets you select which to initialize first.

when you boot up into windows, are both display adapters showing in the device manager? if so you should be able to go to display properties in the control panel and click "extend the desktop onto this monitor" for the 3rd monitor.

i've been to the display manager and only one of the video cards is enabled and i can't get both to work at the same time. it comes up with an error message and i was wondering if there is any way to fix that.
