Adding a third monitor?

[laijosh]

I have a dell computer with a 9800gt and I run dual monitors right now. I want to add a third monitor which will just be a 17" so not a huge res. I know about USB to dvi but thats like 100 bucks. I was wondering if I could just install a NVidia or ATI PCI graphics card and then put the 17 on there. Is this possible? Can I only put NVidia, or can i only put ATI

My motherboard is DELL stock mobo, Model OTP406. North and Southbridge are Intel. CPU is the Q6600

This depends on your motherboard, can we have the name of it please?

You might, but PCI cards are like $40 and youll have to mess around with drivers..

or, You could just sell the 9800GT and buy a HD5750 and run eyefinity.

You'd need a second video card in SLI - and setup can certainly sometimes be a pain. I'd have to agree with timop... just buy a cheap ATI eyefinity
