Basically i have 3 20' monitors all with VGA connections. I have a Ati 6870 which can only take 1 of the monitors with a VGA - DVI convertor. I also have a PCI Radeon 7000 which has 2 VGA connections. Now how do i go about getting the PCI card and the additional monitors to be detected by my computer?

I've put the card in and tried to install the driver but nothing. The Catalyst centre only shows my 6870.
 
I'm not sure about the PCI card, as it sounds very old (afaik current AMD catalyst drivers only work with HD 2000 cards and newer - you would need to use legacy drivers to get them both working), but you should be able to run three VGA monitors off a single HD 6870 by using one DVI-I to VGA adapter and two active mini-DP to VGA adapters (assuming your particular HD 6870 card has two mini-DP ports).
