I know my way around Eyefinity technology, I've got it set up at home on my HD7950.

At my work, my boss just ordered in some of us a new graphics card for our machines, the HD 7350.

Now to my knowledge, AMD Eyefinity technology in the way of 3 displays (or more) you can run off of 2 legacy connections, and then for the remainder of the displays you have to use displayports (with relevant adapters - active / passive depeding if required).

Only these new 7350's only have HDMI, DVI (dual link), and VGA (or D-sub), so there's me thinking that it can only pump out 2 displys and its just giving you the option of each connector, but the marketing material claims it can support 3 displays??

Is this running 2 monitors off of a DVI dual link adapter?

Or can you do
1 vga
1 hdmi
1 dvi
or
1 vga
2 dvi
or
1 hdmi
2 dvi
or even
1 vga
1 hdmi
2 dvi for four?!?!?
(VRAM would probably become an issue at this point)

I was just wondering because we have the spare displays so I can have 3, being limited to 2 isn't that big a deal but if i can have 3 that'd be sweet!

Also, before you ask, no my motherboard doesn't have another PCI-E lane so I can't just put another card in.

Tried to find info, my searches were fruitless.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The limitations you're thinking of were mostly on the older cards. My 5850 forced me to use a displayport to get more than 2 screens working. Now I'm running 4 screens on my 7950. Depending on which 7350 you got you may be able to use all the outputs, and since you already have the monitor, it doesnt hurt to try.
