3 monitors, graphics question

[spacetime]

I am currently running two monitors and the setup below. I am thinking about getting a third monitor, probably a dell 2007fp but I might go bigger and place it in the middle of the other two. What kind of upgrades do I need on my video card to allow this? I have one monitor in the VGA and one in the DVI right now, so will I just have to buy another video card?

I want to to be very fast as I will use it for 12+ tabling with no overlap. If any other components besides the video card need to be upgraded please say so. Thanks!

My setup:
pentium 4 3.4ghz, 1.5gb RAM
RADEON 9600 256mb 400mhz
dell 2001FP, dell 2007FP

if xp:
pretty much any decent pci video card should do unless you're getting the 30" in which case get a card that supports dual-link dvi-d.

if vista (or if you're planning to upgrade to vista):
you're going to want to get a motherboard that has two pci-e slots, and get a 2nd pci-e video card with a chipset from the same manufacturer as your current video card. again, if you buy the 30", get a card that supports dual-link dvi-d. if you don't want to do all this, you can just install a regular pci video card on your current motherboard, but you will have to use XP drivers and won't get vista visual features such as "aero".

Read the monnitor FAQ.

After that just buy any decent PCI video card and pop it in. That'll give u room for 4 monitors.
