ah ty yea its a bit all confusing lol would try to get a minidp monitor or something but only have about £115 for monitor &the adapter needed n would like a 1920*1080 monitor.. suppose i could stick with the one i have n buy a 3rd smaller monitor

lol

im gunna get the xfx 6870 black edition as at 134 its a brgain with dirt3+shogun 2 (2new games to play on high graphiocs

)

but yea leaves me with around 115 ish for monitor+adapter n would rather get from ocuk(free delivery helps) as not many pc hardware stores local to me other than a certain rip of chain begining with pc...

::edit::
also you provided no link for monitor

should probably mention the new monitor will become my main monitor (1080 is better than 1050) and the other 2 are vga or does it not matter which port there plugged into?

yea thats the monitor i was thinking of

is that so with the dvi ports? maybe ocuk n amd should be a bit more specific, product description says 2 dvi-i ports

n so id run 1 vga monitor of th etop dvi port, the 2nd vga off a miniDP and my new monitor off the bottom dvi?

ah thanks cmndr andi

but well found out budgets a little lower so the adapter will have to wait for a couple weeks, but sure i can live with only 2 screens for a while.

till then 1 new graphics card n 2 22inch monitors for me
