Triple-head video advice

OK, I have been in the market for a new video card for a few weeks now, my price range is around $200, maybe a little more.

By pure coincidence, I currently have three Dell 1905FP monitors at my house for a month or so. I can't keep them, but I would love to set up a triple-head video system just once to see what it looks like.

So I am begging advice on two fronts.

1. Is there any card in my price range that is capable of running three 19" monitors?
2. Is there any game that I can play around with that will use three screens, but not bring my poor old P4 to it's knees?

Like I said, this is purely for fun and not how I am planning to run my system like this for long. (In order to do this at all, I have to monopolize the dining room table for a week. Any longer and I'm a dead man...)
 
Triple heads means either a Matrox specialty card, or twin "normal" cards. If it's just for fun, pull out your box of old PCI VGA cards and find one that cooperates with your current PCIE or AGP card.
