Triple Video Card suggestions

[911-4-u]

I am looking for a video card that can output to 3 monitors for work. We are looking for something inexpensive (only running business apps, so 128mb card is usually overkill....) I found the ATI FireMV 2400, but it is a bit pricey for what we need (~$450).

Can anyone recommend any other cards that are decent, but inexpensive?

thanks

The best card for tripple monitoring and gaming is still the Matrox Parhelia. But its quite old and slow. Its about as fast as a GeForce 3 Ti200.
Maybe you can pick one up cheap on ebay. They have brilliant video quality and there is a newer PCIE version as well, but that one is expensive.

You could also go the cheap route and get a PCI video card to use it with a dual monitor AGP card. Or use a single AGP/PCIE video card and 2 pci cards.
That works for desktop use, but not gaming.
Hope that helps.

yeah, i dont need it for gaming, we are using it for work, so it definatly doesn't have to be a high end card, but i would like for it to be PCIE since that is what our desktops currently have.

why not just use a pair of video cards? one being dual head, the other can be dual or single?

They don't have any empty PCI slots?

there are, dont mind doing PCI instead of PCIE, but i want 1 card, not 2. Easier for support.

buy a lower end card and a matrox triple head to go, turns 3 physical monitors into one logical monitor for just a super wide monitor, and you can run it off of one graphics card, super easy to use, as long as you aren't mixing wide screen and normal aspect ratio monitors. I can use one with 3 LCD's no prob.
