I am currently running 3 monitors on my Dell Optiplex380.  I installed one Geforce 9500 dual port PCI-e and another Jaton PCI video card.  As long as you have the proper drivers for each display card you won't have any problems.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to set up a triple monitor display for work purposes (I don't need to game with it).Here is what I have:<br />
<br />
Dell Vostro 220 - 1 PCI-e x16, 1 PCI-e x1, and 2 PCI slots<br />
ATI 5670 1 MB video card - DVI, HDMI, and VGA outputs<br />
<br />
I have read online that the ATI 5000 series cards will only support triple displays if one of the monitors is running through the DisplayPort out with an active DisplayPort adapter.<br />
I have two problems with that; I don't have a DP out on my card and the active adapters I've found are really expensive.<br />
<br />
I know I could add another video card but I don't have an extra PCI-e x16 slot on the motherboards and I'm worried if the second card is not exactly the same as the first I'll run into driver conflicts.<br />
<br />
Solutions?

Triple monitor setup

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
