Forums -> Multiple monitors -> multimonitor setup, 3 monitor/2cards win2000

I have a creative annihilator geforce2gts as my primary agp card running a sony 21 inch monitor, I am thinking about getting a second video card to support 2 more monitors, however the monitors vary greatly in size. My primary is a 21 inch, secondary will be a 15 inch and the tertiary is a little tricky, a everfocus color tft lcd monitor that is about 6 inches by 4 inches and has only a svideo input. Is there a secondary card i can get that will run 2 monitors over 1 vga output and 1 svideo output at different resolutions [since they vary so much in size] using windows 2000? or am i asking too much?

i know this is a weird combination but I really want to get it to work and any help is appreciated.

Thx,

james

by the way, i want all the monitors to work independently, no mirroring...
planning to use 21 for graphics, 15 for detailed graphics and the small everfocus lcd to put my tools on [i.e. illustrator on 21 inch monitor, zoomed in on the 15 inch with all the illustrator tools on the 6 inch lcd.]

one correction,
i think the 6 inch lcd is composite video...3 cables [red, white, yellow] into one input...

I don't think there is such a card at the moment, the problem is that both the Appian Hurricane and Matrox G450 PCI cards don't have TV-out.

There may be a PCI TwinView card with TV-out, but Nvidia doesn't have true Win2000 multi-monitor support (for individual resolutions etc).

On the G400 there was a cable adaptator for outputing on a TV, dunno if it's still possible on the G450 or if you can find G400 PCi cards though
