anyone know how to hook up 3 monitors to 1 card?
 

is this even possible I have a XFX GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI XXX

you really need a pci slot card and a agp slot card.. I have a matrix dual head agp and a pci so i have 4 :) Love it

so there is no such thing as a splitter so I can just split the line I have to get another vid card. This already sounds very troubleshooting.

Yup there are but there more expensive than just buying an additional card.

But if you want to go the expensive route, check out the following devices:
SideCar: http://www.digitaltigers.com/sidecar.shtml
DualHead2Go: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/co...ducts/home.php
VTBook: http://www.vtbook.com/

If you want to have the same content on many screens, yes a vga splitter exists.

If you wish to have more " real estate ", like:

monitor one : main section of photoshop
monitor two: tools of photoshop
Moonitor 3 : GFY forum

you need 2 cards as said above ( one AGP if your mb still has that ) and one PCI or PCI Express.
