2's company but 3's not a crowd

Indeed, how can one complain when it comes to more desktop screen space. I tried not to DIY my PC anymore but old habits are hard to break. Not wanting the old Voodoo 3 graphics card to go to waste, I decided to install it onto my Windows PC.

Firstly, it's a PCI graphics card, which tells you how old it is. Upon bootup, Windows can detect the card correctly. However, when I tried to join it to the other 2 monitors, it complained big time. Search around on the web for some drivers. Fortunately, I could still find some. Tried 2 different drivers before the third one worked.

I guess if I want to continue a 3 monitor setup with Windows 7, I probably need to upgrade the motherboard as well. The motherboard needs to be able to support 2 PCI-e graphics card. I doubt the old PCI Voodoo card will work in Windows 7.

Looking at the 3 LCD monitors, simply fantastic! The only pity is the 3rd monitor isn't black in colour but at least it's the same model as the rest.
