I'm looking to get three monitors hooked up to my pc and have a few questions. Firstly, I'm using an 8800gts card with two inputs, and it came with an adapter so I can plug both vga and dvi inputs into it.

-I remember seeing some item that let you 'split' your input so that you could hook up three monitors even on a two or one-input card. I could be wrong, but does this exist and if so where can I get it?

-If I need to get an additional card, I'd like to spend as little as possible. Will any card run smoothly with my 8800 or will I need to get a specific type of card (like another 8800)?

My pc specs if needed:

asus p5b mobo
c2d e6600
2G ram
8800gts 320mb

...not sure you need anything else. If so, let me know.
