Hia,
I have recently got another, 3rd screen and I am struggling to connect it.
I got 2x Dell 1907FP + 1x Dell 1908FP - all 19''
Thought having ATI 4300 HD (on PCIe x16) with Dual DVI and VGA will let me to do so. Now I see I was wrong 
Bearing in mind I don't want to spend 200GBP on Matrox TH2G and my PC is ONLY a Dell C521 (NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP chipset motherboard), I can only add another graphic card on PCIe x1!
how annoying is that hey?
so question is:
If I get another ATI card, let's say: Firemv 2250 X1 Rohs M/p 256MB
will I be able to plug-in 3rd screen and use all of them as extended desktop? so they will be connected to: DVI, DVI and VGA (D-sub) ?
Please help.
There is always atypical graphics cards with 4 DVI ports.
