Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Three monitors on XP

Hi

Can anyone please advise the most cost efficient hardware to get my PC running three monitors on XP

My system is a Dell Inspiron running a Intel G33/G31 Express chipset family

Thinking it would be very simple i purchased two Startech USB2VGA' that plug into your USB's. I can get two monitors running but not the third

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of slots does the computer have, and what video card does it currently have? My cheap solution was to modify a cheap PCIe X16 card to fit in a PCIe X1 slot since I already had one video card in the PCIe X16 slot. It works great. I put the details of the mod I did on my web site. Another option is to modify the PCIe X1 slot.

Also, a new low-end PCIe X16 ATI Eyefinity card with 3 outputs is another option (assuming you even have PCIe slots, of course).
