Hi,

I am looking to add a 3rd monitor to my desktop but amd hesistant to spring for another video card to do so. Right now I am running 2 screens off an ATI 4890.

I noticed that the card also, has an s-video out port. If I get an s-video to vga adapter, can I use that to run my third monitor?

Thanks!

I have a similar setup with an HD4650 in Windows 7. While CCC does recognize the third monitor (in this case, a projector), it was unable to find a way to enable it without disabling another monitor.

Yeah I read that one video card can handle only 2 monitors at a time, so this won't work, alas.
