Default Triple Monitor Setup Continued...

Ok, thanks to your help Computer forum, I just recieved my 30" in the mail - my second 20" is on its way.

Now my question is how do I set these three monitors up to work as one computer?

I've fiddled around with the resolution while having the 30" and 20" connected. The 30" image all fits on the screen however it does look a little pixelated and I feel like the icons are too large, it's hard to explain, it just doesn't look right...

the dumbass is back, help me?

thx

I've played around with the stuff as much as I can,

Everything looks alright, as in everything that is supposed to be in the screen is showing up fine - it's just that everything looks bigger and a little more pixelated than i feel it should...really having a tough time explaining this.

Ok forget about my resolution problems for now...

- I have my 30" running off my original PCIe card, using the white cable

- I have my 20" running off of my new PCI card using the blue VGA cable.

BUT

When I plug in the second 20" monitor to either card I can't get it to work...

And it's come to this point - the old $20 on Tilt to whoever get all three monitors to run off of my computer

Please Help:-)

Key piece of info imo:

A couple hours ago I had the 30" and 20" running off of the original PCIe card,

now, after I have installed the second video card I cannot get any monitor to run off of the PCIe VGA output
