Adding a third monitor!

[Freakish_05]

Yup, you read correctly, I'm planning on adding a third monitor to my rig
Call it overkill, call it whatever you like, the long and short of it is that I have simply ran out of space on my E196FP and my Hyundai B71A (ignore the Sig, it needs updating ).

I currently have my E196FP positioned in front of me (biggest monitor so use for games) and the B71A positioned to the left of the E196FP.

My plan is to get One of these to run a second B71A which will be positioned to the right of the E196FP.
Does this sound right to you guys? Have I forgotten something and am heading for a disaster? Any comments?

Cheers

Bump!

Has anyone accomplished this successfully? I've been told by a couple of people that its a nightmare to get set up properly.

I'm already using ultramon, would this allow all 3 monitors to work as I've described?

Cheers

Thanks tsinc80697, I've looked at the ultramon forums and there seem to be a fair few people who have pulled this off.

Your suggestion of getting a DVI/VGA splitter was interesting, but the X300 card is only £12 and I've already got omega drivers installed for my X800XT so fingers crossed everything will work fine!

Will probably be ordering all of the parts tonight so I'll let you all know how I get on.
