am i right in thinking that if i want a triple eyefinity display with 3 IIYAMA PROLITE E2210HDS 22" WIDESCREEN LCD MONITORS i need to get a DPtoVGA converter. I have two ATi Radeon HD 5670 1GB cards installed in CrossfireX. A powercolor and a Sapphire. The sapphire has 3 outputs consisting of 1x Display Port, 1x HDMI, 1x DVI. and the powercolor has 3 outputs consisting of 1x VGA, 1x HDMI, 1x DVI. Which one should i use and what do i need?
 
i did get one of these: Startech DisplayPort to VGA Video Adapter Converter.
It worked as i tried it on my new monitor however just the other day i was just having a play and the monitor went black and came back on but wasnt in 3 screen eyefinity mode, went back to normal. So does that mean its no good? or do i need one of thos ones with the usb cable for extra power. Hopefully when i get the other 2 they will have HDMI so if DP2VGA dont work i can get a DP2DVI adapter instead.
