Answer 1

A Video Splitter box like these:

will allow you to view identical screen signals on several monitors.

In order to view individual windows on 3 monitors you will need to invest in a more expensive solution :

** if you are already able to use the onboard video card & the Nvidia PCI card on 2 monitors then you will need a 2 way video splitter for 3 identical screens. Installing a third video card for 3 indepentant screens will be problematic. You are better off trying a dual video adapter with the onboard video card (total 3) OR the Matrox solution with 4way out previously mentioned.

Answer 2

You can buy VGA Splitter Boxes. There would be boxes which would convert one into 2. so if you need 3 monitors then you need to buy 2 such boxes then you can have 1 to 3 output.

There would be other porfessional options but would be on the costlier side.

Answer 3

If you have loaded all the software with the video card (and the video card supports it) then you shoul;d be able to open the video driver app that allows you to set up multiple monitors. You may want to dig around in your settings under displays and such in "My computer"

Your video card has to offer that capability and your processor has to be fast enough (and, of course, you need plenty of RAM)

Answer 4

Do you have outputs for each monitor? if so, just hook them up. If not, you can split the signal, or invest in a multi-head video card.
