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??
