Provided that the card has been made to that, yes.

I have read in the manuals for the Jaton PCI video cards, and they will allow you do add a 3rd and 4th display.

This was with one of there PCI FX5700LE 128Mb videos cards.
It's been about 2 years since I have playied around with one. The FX5700LE is currently a discontinued chipset/

7600gs? i guess that like my old 7300gs. have you checked in the nvidia controlpanel and made the tv its own and not a clone? and is there any display on the tv? are you connecting via the hdtv or svideo?

i am connected to the tv via component connection i have the one monitor though a vga and the other dvi. in my control panel it tells me(with all three connected) that i can only run two displays at once. so i was wondering if i got the tv its own video card could i run all three. or is there a program that could overide my video card settings.

A couple weeks ago I was running 3 monitors no problem (using an AGP GeForce FX5700LE and an old PCI GeForce2 MX 200). This was in Linux, I am not sure if there would be any difference in Windows.

shouldnt be, mine ran fine. on my mx4000,(well, its a 5200, with a 4000gpu, got dvi, vga, and svid) and it works perfect for me, but i got a second card for my other monitor, cause the video lags when i run 2 monitors on the card.
