How can i hook three monitors up to my dell xps 8100 with a nvidia gt220 graphics card?

just bought it.. i have 2 20 inch monitors and 1 22 inch monitor i was going to put in the middle. thanks|||That will NEVER work. Don't even think it.



The GT220's GPU chip is designed to support TWO monitors only.



nVidia did not implement triple-monitor support on its consumer-grade (i.e. non-workstation) GPUs until they released the new GTX400-series of cards a couple weeks ago.



The only other consumer-grade GPUs that support triple monitors are the ATI Radeon HD5000-series, and those have been around since late last year. The Radeon HD5000s go one further-- The ones with DisplayPort can support Eyefinity, which allows certain games to span the game screen over three monitors. The third monitor needs to have a DisplayPort jack though.|||I don't think the HDMI out is another monitor support. You can plug a monitor into the VGA and one into the DVI then go to the nvidia icon in the system tray and you can mess with it there. Last time I did this with an nvidia card I could change the orientation of the screens from clones, side by side, and set them to be vertical.
