Dual head ati radeon 9000 and a pci card

[Kenny S]

I have a Dual head ati radeon 9000 connected to 2 monitors.
Can I add a PCI card so that I will have 3 monitors?


Thanks

There are issues with ATI, do you want to span the monitors
for game playing or do you want three monitors with
independent views?

Call, visit www.ati.com

Yes, there are PCI video cards and maybe some will do what
you want. You may need to replace all your video with an
other brand, just depends on whether you want the same
picture on each monitor, a portion of the same picture to
get a wrap-around effect, or individual windows on each
monitor.

You also might try Google for multiple monitor setup.

I want to extend my desktop, not clone the image.

Saw this question on the Screensavers program the other day.
ATI cards don't work well for this, you may need to get
NVIDIA or other brand.

Probably yes, but it may depend on what PCI card you use. If I
were you, I'd contact ATI for specific advice.
