Well, you can either run a sperate unit that will take 1 input and shove 3 out, buy 2 ATI cards, or just be a normal person and run 2 monitors.

Pretty much what he said, you need 2 more input thingys on the back of your tower + the 3 cords for each monitor.

i tried this on my laptop and its sh*t ... always lost my mouse pointer :lol:
