yeah post some pics! I wanna see what it looks like...

What do you use 3 monitors for anyways? I can't think of any reason unless you are doing some kind of software development (ie. coding, web design, etc)

I have one 19" and two 17" CRTs on one PC. The primary display is driven by the Leadtek GeForce3 AGP. The other two are driven by cheap ATI 16 and 8 meg PCI video cards. I love having all that desktop space. The 21" monitor I use at work feels so crowded now with the applications covering each other.

I plan on getting a video capture card so I don't have to look over the right hand monitor to see the TV.

I see three monitors, but I don't see "3 monitors running at once".

I'll beleive you on the monitors though, but I still don't beleive you on the car. When challenged on the monitors, you got pictures in less than 10 minutes to back up your story. How come it's been over 3 days and still no pics of the car? Oh, because you don't have one.

Do a little research before buying a tv tuner card. I don't think any of the ATI tuners will let you move the tv output to anything put your primary display. And if they do, I'd like to know how. I'd love to be able to move mine to a second screen.

Yeah I'd like to see all monitors going at once too. I know it can be farily easily done though...but that doesn't change the fact that you lied about your car.

i don't really see the point of running 3 monitors at the same time.
anyway, whatever makes you happy :)

It rocks. It definitely pays off if you do any work that requires lots of desktop space. i.e. coding

I could open Visio in the left monitor, VS.NET in the main monitor and MSDN on the right monitor. It's perfect. :)

More than 3 monitors is an overkill, though. 3 is just right.

My setup is a Matrox G450DH with an ATI 4MB PCI card.

Was using 4 monitors on a training project simulation the cockpit instrumentation on the V22 a couple of years ago.

3 21" (1600x1200) were used for the actual simulation and a 15" was used for configuration, OS interfacing and sim control.
Ran 3 Maxtrox PCI cards and a AGP on Compaq 450Mz system.

Thanks. I just emailed ATI tech support. I mentioned I have an ATI Xpert 98 and an ATI Xpert 128 installed. Let's see if they respond.
