Dual-Monitor and TV Out

Ok heres my question I have a PC that I edit/composite Videos. The PC has an ASUS v9999 GeForce 6800 graphics card in it. I set up 2 CRT monitors as Dual-Monitor and then I plugged in my NTSC Preview TV in to the TV-Out port so that I can watch the final cuts of my videos on a TV to make sure they look good. My problem is that I cant seem to figure out how to do 3 displays. I go into the nVidia drivers and I can choose either my 2 CRTs, or 1 CRT and 1 TV but there is no option for 2 crts and TV-out. Is there some funny driver setting that I can turn on so that I can have all of them running. I want the 2 crts to be independant displays and the TV can be any setting what so ever just so I can view Vids on that TV.
 
You only have 2 RAMDAC, means you can only have 2 analog displays concurrently whether it be TV out or VGA for the CRT's.
 
Right. Off one ATi or NVidia card, you can run three displays, BUT: One of them has to be a digital DVI device, and the TV output will always show a cloned image of one of the other two.

You can add another graphics card, or you can go with Matrox's specials that do have actual independent three-head support.
