3 Monitors?

I have a Radeon 9200se, sad I know, and I've been running dual monitors on it. Recently, windows flagged my video Controller and media audio controller as having problems. So I had it automatically install Drivers for the Video controller and to my surprise it installed the Intel Integrated drivers to the integrated graphics that I have in my comp. Now when I right click the desktop and go to properties settings, I have 3 desktops. I'm just wondering if this is supposed to happen and if anything could possibly happen if I attached a third monitor. I'm also wondering about performance. If anyone could help me that'd be great.
 
should be no hit to performance.. i've done three monitors with a pci card and an agp dual head.
only performance decrease would be there difference in ram as the intergrated card will juse your system ram for memory.
 
Sounds like your onboard video got Magically Enabled (TM) in the BIOS. Go double-check and make sure that it's off, or you're going to get an even nastier surprise when you try to game. Not that a 9200SE is up to the task, but it's at least better than Intel Extreme. 😛
