Hi there, I want to connect 3 monitors to my desktop PC. I have a onboard graphic card and a PCI graphic card with two exits (VGA and DVI). Every monitor shoult be able to show a different operation simultanously. What device or splitter will I need to connect the 3 monitors?

Can't offer any hardware advice.. but, I'm always intrigued by why people have multiple monitors. What's your excuse/reason/whatever? I've been looking for a reason to have a multiple monitor setup for 10 years.
It´s a great time saver when you are doing much webdesign and graphic design and don´t have to switch between the screens. It´s also great for trading when you need to watch different charts at the same time..... So has anyobody some hardware advice? @ tango007 I need at least 3 monitors to connect.
unless your motherboard supports it, you will need two graphics cards. because soon as graphics card is plugged in onboard is disabled by motherboard.
I used to be in a different business -- required monitoring a lot of conditions. I've gotten so used to the setup I'd hate to be without them.
One business where people can do with more number of monitors is Stocks trading. You got to keep watch on lot many charts and news... all at the same time! I have seen many traders having as many 6... all showing different charts... real time! Regards, RightMan
Ok guys, I´ve solved the problem with the Matrox TripleHead2Go device. It`s an external multi-display upgrade that adds up to three monitors to your notebook or desktop computer. Ideal for professionals requiring more desktop space for maximum productivity increases and gamers wanting a totally immersive experience, this small box lets you run different applications on each display or view one application across up to three monitors. Available in DisplayPort, Digital, or Analog Editions.
Actually, you could have just checked if you're video card can support 3. Old video cards used to support just two monitors, but there are those that can actually support as many as 4. If you're video card supports multiple monitors, you don't need any extra hardware aside from additional video cords. These can either be VGA, DVI or HDMI. When you have hooked up all monitors to your video card, all you need to do is go to your Display Properties and configure you monitors. I have a three-monitor setup right now with 3 LCD screens - 2 19" and a 42" TV monitor. I have a video card with a VGA, DVI and HDMI input. The smaller monitors I hooked up using the VGA and DVI, while the TV monitor is hooked up via HDMI. I use a setup like this because I do video editing and I want to have an awesome view of the things I am working on, especially the preview which I view using the big screen.
You can do this with Windows Vista and Windows 7, I assume also with XP, the graphic card I use is NVIDIA GeForce210, it is a cheap card but works perfect, you can have 3 monitors connected, there are VGA/DVI and HDMI exits... works great.
Really guys having 3 monitors it´s a big time saver for me. I also can´t imagine going back to ONE.
