I wasn't sure what forum to put this in so here goes..

I currently have a 7900GTX card (16x) with dual-dvi out. One of the DVI ports is trashed (yah yah.. happened a cpl yrs back trying to force a cord in) so im running just one screen right now (42" Westinghouse)

Anyways, I do a lot of gaming and a lot of multi-tasking and stock trading. I would like to be able to set up 2 other monitors (probably a couple cheapy 19" off the egg) and im going to be upgrading my video card to a new 200 series asap when they launch.

Is it possible to run 3 monitors somehow as in run 2 dvi out of the new 200 card and then also somehow use my 7900gtx in the same computer or is running 3 screens require another cpu all together? It seems like running 2 screens out of 1 video card is cake but I see very little about more than 2 and if it's possible with an additional video card.

Also...

Upgrading (at same time as video card) to a P35 mobo (with one PCI 16x) and Q6600 and Vista if that helps

Do I need a mobo with more than one x16 slot to use both cards??

Just need one cpu, and a IP35 Pro is what I am using too, they kick ass, and will be plenty good enough to run "Soft TH".

For VideoCard just need one bad ass single card, which will handle the full rez of all 3 screens, but only displays for 2 screens the center and right monitor. Then you just need a budget PCIeX card a cheapy that only will handle the 3rd or left monitors display, it doesn't really do any of the graphics, that is all done by the main Videocard.
