UNSOLVED
3 monitors on an XPS 9000
I recently ordered an XPS 9000 with a Radeon HD 4350.
I'd like to run 3 monitors (as I do now on an XPS 400 running XP).
I looked at the Radeon 5750, which has 2 DVI ports and a Displayport, but none of my monitors are Displayport and I'd rather not spring for one now.
The monitors I have are a Dell 2208WFP, a Viewsonic VG2030wm, and 2 VGA monitors.
Does it make sense (and will it work) to install another 4350 (or something else like a GEforce 9400) and run one monitor off that card?
Does it make more sense to get the 5750 and a new monitor?
Is there a better solution?
Thank you,
Joseph

You could buy a DisplayPort>DVI converter cable (~$20-$30), or DisplayPort >VGA converter cable (~$45).
Check around, I only used this vendor as an example. You may find better cables and/or better prices elsewhere.

Joseph,
I dunno. Maybe ask Radeon tech support?
What about DisplayPort>VGA with one of your older monitors?

Ron,
Looking around, I see talk of the Displayport->DVI converters not working with a 4350. Not sure why.
Any other solutions?
Thanks,
Joseph
