Hey guys i have another dilemma. I'm trying to get 2 crt's and my tv to get an image on my 7800 but no go. I tried through the nvidia software (display properties, advanced, recognize tv) and it afterwards it only allows me to connect 2 monitors at a time. I have tried ultramon but i think i'm overlooking something there. Can someone tell me if 2 CRT's and a TV is possible to do? And if so, How?

Plug the 2 monitors into the DVI port and plug the TV into the S-Video out. <-right???

Or get a second 7800.

EDIT: After actually reading the OP, get a second 7800. <-might work, not sure?

Or just buy the cheapest PCI nVidia card you can find to run the second monitor while the 7800GT runs the first and the TV.

Or that...But with 2 7800's (the OP never said GT!!!) you could run SLI!!!!! (on one monitor, but still, it's SLI!!!!!!) (And while your not gaming you can still use the others, I don't even know if you game :p)
