Anyone know how to setup triple monitors on a computer?
Aside from a Parahelia that is.
Thanks,

As long as the graphics cards all are multi-VGA capable (read: not extremely old crap), you can pile as many cards as you please into your machine. E.g. two Radeons, one AGP one PCI, can get you four heads alright. | |

It's really a matter of software support and having enough slots in your machine.... | |

I have done it in XP with 1 AGP card and 2 PCI cards. Really not any different than a dual setup.

Can you just use any card? Or do the cards need to be the same manufacturer wise?

I found ATI's Hydravision feature for ATI cards easy and effectively useful. The hardware portion of accomplishing multimonitoring I see has already been discussed.

awhile ago I posted a link to some multi-head video cards that I spotted and was going to checkout but now I can't find the link?? they had options for anywhere from 1-6 {i think} and no they aren't matrox products....I'll have to look around and see if I can find the site again
edit: here's the link http://www.colorgraphic.net/newsite/misc/home.asp
