    Are you sure you know what you need? Most graphics cards have two outputs, so you shouldn't need a splitter. Most have one VGA output, and one other one, so you usually just need a adapter (should just be a few euros), assuming both your monitors are vga

    Youll get a graphics car with 2 outputs, for Feck all.. That will be yer best option, just get any ATI card with a DVI and VGA output..

    I was in your position and got the two monitors up and going but very soon after i felt that i really needed three monitors so basically what i'm saying is don't spend too much until you are sure that you will not need or want three monitors.
    If you do go down the three monitor road i can highly reccomend the Matrox-Graphics-Triplehead2Go available from Amazon.

    Yeah those matrox triple head are very good. And he is right, u can have one main monitor directly in front of u, and 1 on each side. Looks more natural than desktop split in half.

    I have a Belkin OmniView™ ExpandView™ Series 4-Port Video Splitter that I've been meaning to sell for some time.

    It's never been used (well once to see that it worked).

    I'm not even sure if you can run 3+ monitor setups or if it just duplicates what is on the original screen only.
