Triple monitors using graphics card and onboard?

[scrotumpole]

Hello, I've been using my graphics card for double monitors for quite a while, (this is it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500121) and I recently picked up a flat screen monitor dirt cheap at a thrift store and would love to use 3 monitors but I wasn't sure if I could use the onboard graphics or if I would have to get a converter for the S-VIDEO to convert to VGA? I don't need it to be amazing, I just want the third monitor for album art and last.fm info. I've been debating upgrading my graphics card to one that supports triple monitors or just getting a second cheap one for the extra monitor, but I'm low on funds and I don't game at all so my graphics needs are more than met.
Thanks for the help!

I can't open your link, but if your video card supports s-video, I believe it is older and therefore cannot support more than 2 displays simultaneously. So, even if you connect three monitors, you will be forced to pick 2 to be active and 1 to be inactive.

Cheapest solution is to keep checking that thrift store for a video card (my thrift stores typically put them in plastic baggies and hang them up with other little electronic stuff) and just install the 2nd video card to support another 2 displays.

I have a Dell xps, and it seems the onboard video is disabled when the dgpu is installed. I put in a hd7770, which has no vga output, and thought I could use the VGA output from the igp for a second monitor. I got no signal from it though.

That card only supports two monitors. The S-video is tied to the VGA output. Also the S-video has a max of 800x600 res I think. Maybe less.
