Ok, im at my dads house, and the pc i have here is as fallows:

no idea what mobo
p3 800 mgz
nvidia fx 5200
rest unimportant

This is what i would like to know. the 5200 only has 1 port, and 1 for the tv, but doesnt have a 2nd one for a 2nd monitor.

But over here, i have an OLD voodoo3, a pci card. Is it possible to put that in my pc, and hook up a 2nd monitor to it, and extend my destop on it?

If i can do that, can i get a 3rd card in the pc, and get a 3rd monitor?

Thanks for the help
 
well i got the pc working with 1 agp, and 1 pci, in dual monitior, but the 3rd card, an OLD trident video accelerator, sais the devide wont start. Any ideas?
 
that's awesome...your PC must be slow though?

I think yer OLD card is too OLD. It might not be compatible with the other cards, ot maybe u need to increase some voltages :)

Make sure u are using PCI 1 and 2, these are the closest to yer AGP and they are the best to use for gfx
 
still nothing... i think its a problem of using 2 pci vid cards. any way to fix this?
 
the card might be too old.
but maybe theres a tool to support it, do a google for it.

ur not using multi desktops right? all monitors are showing the same?
 
no its multi desktop... i want 3 monitors for photoshop, seeing 3 times the same thing is useless..
 
1st card nvidia fx 5200
2nd voodoo3
3rd trident video accelerator

i am using windows xp normal multi destop... in display settings.

the 3rd card, in device manager sais it cant start
