Need help setting up 3 monitors on 1 PC

I'm sort of back to square one. I can display 2 monitors at the same time but not 3.

I contacted HIS Digital after having difficulty getting the 3rd monitor to display. They said the card is not capable of displaying 3 monitors at once. The reason they gave was "4350 AGP does not support Eyefinity on 3 monitors.
Eyefinity needs a DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort output."

Can you give me some guidance on what's the best way to solve my problem? Should I look for a new card that can handle 3 monitors? Should I keep the card I bought and get a pci card for the 3rd monitor?

DDP you mentioned earlier that you had an AGP card that supports 3 monitors. Is that card for sale? Would it have the same problem running 3 monitors at once as the HIS card?

 

For the s-video I could just get an s-video to VGA cord right? Yes I'm in the states.

I really appreciate you looking into seeing if you can get 3 monitors displayed using your hd 6450.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the links. Very informative.

I'm going to see if I can get a pci card for the 3rd monitor.

 

Since the GPU on the HIS card is Radeon should I get a PCI card that is Radeon as well? Or is it ok to get a PCI card with an Nvidia GPU?

Should I also try to get a PCI card with 512 MB of memory?


You mentioned earlier that Windows 32 bit OS are only capable of supporting 3.25-3.5 GB of RAM. Is this for the memory sticks only or is for the total system memory? For example my PC has 3 X 1 GB sticks of RAM and the 512 MB of memory from the HIS graphics card for a total of 3.5 GB.

So if I were to get a PCI card with 512 MB of memory then I would need to replace a 1 GB stick of RAM with a 512 MB stick of RAM to keep it at a total of 3.5 GB. Is that right?

 

Can you re-read my previous post. I was editing it right around when you last replied. I add a few more questions.

Thanks.
