I searched and cannot find a definitive answer to the question of running 3
monitors in Windows XP Pro. 

I have an Abit IP35 Pro (socket 775) board with two PCI-e x16 slots. One
operates at x16, the other at x4. I am currently running a dual monitor
setup with a DVI 19" 4x3 screen and a vga 15" 4x3 screen connected to a
Sapphire HD 2600 Pro video card. I also have a Westinghouse 42" LCD 1080p
television that I would like to hook up for occasional use to this system.
It is currently attached to my htpc, but I would like to be able to utilize
the extra screen at times for my main system.

Can I add another HD 2600 Pro video card to the x4 PCI-e x16 slot? I plan on
switching the LCD TV to the card on the x16 slot and moving the older vga
monitor to the x4 slot card.

I am not much of a gamer. I recently purchased Call of Duty War Chest
(incudes CoD 1, CoD 1 expansion pak, and CoD 2). I have no problems running
the game on my current system. In fact, it runs just fine on the HTPC
utilizing on-board video to run the 42" LCD. So my video needs are modest. I
would just like to be able to hook up the 42" LCD to my main system on
occasion while maintaining my current 2 panel setup.

Thoughts, suggestions, caveats? All appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Maki
