3 displays?

[Tens]

is it possible ot have 3 displays?

I do doubt its possible but if it is i got an x800xl and would like to hook up 3. DVI VGA and then the weird Svideo comonent thingy.

so is it, even if it isnt with my card what would u need?

well i got a 22" CRT which runs 2000x1500, my LCD tv which i run as a 2ndary monitor but only kicks out 1280x724 and I have just got hold of a nice Eizo 18" TFT. Im going back to uni in a month and i do a lot of coding and will be doing so after my last year. Therefore i am keen to get as much space as possible - 3 screens. That splitter would be fine but im playing with at least 2 (probably 3) different resolutions here so it wont work.

how does it work then, just throw it intot he pci and conect the monitor to it?

how does windows deal with it

 

[Tens]

so just to clarify.

I run 1 crt VGA from my x800xl and svideo component out tihngy to my LCD tv.

All i have to do is put in a cheapy pci card (ati as dan said above) connect my 3rd monitor, goto display settings and it will show up with 3 screens.

yeh its got a DVI out, but can a card only handle 2 outputs at a time?

 

[Tens]

again everyone keeps disagreeing, can my card do 3 outputs.

VGA DVI and the Svideo(component thingy)

ati x800xl

ok, thanks for that everyone

semi pointless question now:

- what limits the amount of gfx cards and/or displays then, and what is the max.
