I'm thinking about adding a 3rd monitor but will need to add a new video card. Problem is that I only have a couple PCI-Express 1x slots open.
Does anyone know of a video card that can produce 1600x1050 res on such a slot? (I may be able to free up a regular old PCI slot so suggestions on any of those video cards are also welcome)
Or should I just go with an expensive Matrox external solution?
Thanks a lot,
Anthony

So the more I look into Matrox it seems like it won't be an appropriate solution since the triplehead2go only has a max resolution of 3840x1024 . And I'm really going for a massive 4800x1050.
I'm currently using an nVidia PCI-E x16 (2 dvi out) card but can't seem to find a PCI-E x1 nVidia card for a 3rd screen(capable of supporting 1680x1050).
I did find this ATI PCI-E 1x card but I expect running 1 nVidia card and 1 ATI card is going to cause problems. right?
