I'd say get either a decent old PCI GPU (I'm guessing the monitor is only for desktop extension, not gaming!) which'll do the job more than adequately for just browsing. Alternately go the whole hog and splash out for the Matrox "TripleHead2Go which'll split one output into three and allow you to run the 3 monitors essentially as one giant monitor, it's around £200 though o__O so probably not the best bet if you want a cheap solution to run a 3rd monitor.

i have an eight meg PCI ATi Rage for my 3rd screen - i don't run anything intensive in it - Winamp runs in the back of it, i occasionally bring it up to pick a different tune, i have x2 explorer running most of the time, and i check website designs on it to make sure it fits within 1024x768, i occasionally run a film / watch a tv show on it.. i also have my switch box on it to switch to my games rig and play games from that display..

yeh what its for is just to extend my desktop really, if i game it will be done on one of my other two monitors rather than all 3 - The Matrox looks hot one of my mates mentioned them before but totally out of my price range. Any idea's of where to get a cheap PCI card from?
