windows xp/vista/7 should have native support for multiple monitors already.

get a monitor that can you can rotate 90 degrees to read and troll boards easier

for software, you basically just need the drivers for the video card. from there you should be able to select 3 outs. the driver that came with my video card did not support multiple outputs. i downloaded a later version which allowed me to do two outputs.

standard video driver/software of nvidia does support multiple dispaly set up.... ilan po ba ports at ano2x ang ports ng video card mo... kung tama ang nakita ko sa sinabi mong video card na NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT meron etong 1 s-video port at 2 DVi port... HDMI or DVi port para sa akin wala naman difference, HDMI nga lang ay kasama na audio. may mabibili kang splitter ng dvi port nde ko nga lang alam kung san meron.

yun lang po


pwede ka mag multiple task sa bawat monitor... drag mo lang sa isang monitor ang isang window then maximize.. movie sa isa, game sa 2nd at yung main screen mo sa isa.... sa display option "settings"pede mo i set din ang position ng bawat monitor, pwedeng pa triangle ang set up... mga ganun... basta always choose for the additional monitors to have the windows be extended.

sana maka tulong
