On my home PC i am currently running dual 19" Monitors, but for some reason i dont understand, i want to add a 3rd 22" widescreen monitor for the middle span… (mostly to watch top gear etc on)

My current MObo/Video card are below… what do i need to buy to add the 3rd monitor? I do NOT play games on the computer, i maily use it for business/web surfing and watching TV (slingbox)

can i just add another video card perhaps? or do i need to pickup a SLI capable mobo and go that route?

No you don’t need a different Motherboard. You can put a video card on the PCI slot. Since you have an Nvidia card you are in luck, because they all pretty much share the same driver.

All you have to do is get another video card that is on this list:

[http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp\_178.24\_whql.html](http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_178.24_whql.html)

click - products supported. This will show you the list of card that are supported under this driver. Buy one of those video cards that goes into a “PCI” slot.

Plug in other monitor and extend desktop. Done
