Here's the deal. I've never dealt with multimonitor setups, and thus don't know much about it at all. I may add more questions as this thread progresses, but one main question is how the monitors are connected. All the cards I've seen thus far have one VGA port and one DVI port. Is there an additional piece of hardware needed to connect more than one of each? Are there cards with more than 2 ports, and more than one if each? I'd ultimately like to extend my desktop across 3 monitors, utlilizing the 19" as the main monitor in the center, and 2 17" monitors on both sides. All monitors have both VGA and DVI ports. My main uses for this setup will be for Flight Simming and audio recording. The card I'm looking at is the Nvidia GeForce 7200GS ( 256 MB's of RAM, and again - only 2 ports...one VGA and one DVI). My system is running Windows XP SP2, with a 2.4 GHZ processor and 4 GB's of system RAM. Am I headed in the wrong direction here?
