I would like to setup a 3 monitor system for spread sheet work so I would need the ability to drag across the 3 screens. I do not want the same screen on three monitors. My current graphics card is a intel Q45/Q43 and has a vga and display port out put. I do not believe that the integrated card will work for 3 monitors. What is the cheapest card that i could buy that would run 3 VGA monitors as well as the cables that i will need to make this work. From what i have seen there are no cards that have 3 vga outputs so I am most likely going to need adapters. Would it be possible to buy a cheap card or external video adapter and using both video cards (not sure if this would even work). Once again I am looking for the cheapest possible solution looking to spend around $50. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank You!

Well I solved my own question. What i did was purchased an ATI Fire pro 4800 on ebay for $30 used. It has 2 display ports and a dvi. I then purchased 2 active displayport to vga adapters for $9 a piece and then a dvi-d cord. Much cheaper than most of the gpu i have seen recommended.
