Hi, I have 3 LCD monitors and would like to use them on one pc. I already have a PCI Express video card installed with two outputs for video and am running 2 monitors from that. Do I need to just by a PCI video card and plug it in one of my empty slots or is there something else involved.

Thanks

Either get an extra graphics card as said, or buy a Matrox Triplehead 2 Go - the latter is limited to 1280x1024 per monitor.

I would suggest using multiple video cards, I have a dualhead2go, and its not as good as using video cards. I cant really back that up with any facts, just what I have noticed.
