You can run two video cards at the same time but you are restricted to the one operating system at a time so what's going to be on the other screens will be the same desktop or if you have the option to extend the desk top then you could have what amounts to the desktop spread out over the three screens.

It all depends on the 640 and if it supports that feature.
