    Can I install 2x 4830s?

    I currently have a JW-790GX-EXTREME motherboard installed along with a HD4830 graphics card.

    I currently have 2 monitors hooked upto my PC.....but want 3 (yes greedy I know).

    I'm just trying to think about the best way to do this (and the cheapest).

    I don't really play games on the system, but I don't want to do anything which would degrade the graphics of what I currently have.

    I have considered installing a second HD4830.... but even though I have a fairly large case (a tsunami), I just cant see how it would fit.

    Can anyone advise the simplest and cheapest way of getting a 3rd monitor hooked up to my existing system?

    If you just want an additional monitor, a 4350 or similar would do the trick. The power of the 4830 for the main screen(s) and just a basic solution for the additional one.

    And the motherboard will take both?

    Can't offer any specific advice on the mobo right now, since the site won't load properly in either IE or Chrome, will have another look at it tomorrow and see if it's working better.
