[PLUG] trying to understand the interplay between video cards and 3 monitors in linux

2009-12-06 Thread Victor Soich
Hi all, I want to build a system for the first time. I'm a bit fuzzy on how video cards and 3 monitors work. I will be asking my questions pretending money is no object. What I mean by that last statement is that I want to get 3 30" monitors, the LG W3000H, which costs $1,159.99 at newegg.com
