How many screens do you have?

[noman]

two monitors 19" and my laptop screen w/windows 7 works pretty good for me

If you ain't stackin' you slackin' dawgs. I just recently went from a side by side setup to this and it's so, so much better. You're more comfortable and more productive all day. I don't know why anyone would need 3 monitors, but I could see the benefit of a 24 over the 22 I have on top now.

3 and super proud of it...

One 26" (center) next to two 19"s.

I need someones help.

I have an "ASUS P5K SE" motherboard that has 2 PCI slots, 3 PCI Express x1 slots, and one PCI Express x16 slot. My graphics card is GeForce 9600GT.

The graphics card sits in the only PCI Express x16 slot and has enough room for 2 screens.
How the hell do I put a 3rd screen? Do I need to change my motherboard to get another x16 slot and then another GeForce 9600GT?

:drinkup:

You can't add a PCI Express x16 slot. You can, however add a video card to a free PCI slot.

Since you already have a 9000 series Geforce card, you want to get another 9000 series card to avoid driver issues:
Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Video Cards & Video Devices,Desktop Graphics / Video Cards,PCI,NVIDIA,GeForce 9 series

There are PCI Express x1 cards, but newegg only has ATI versions. Maybe nvidia makes some as well.

My new setup

I used 2 x 19" for about 2.5 years but I just recently made the jump to 3 x 23"

I've been a web Designer / Developer for about 5 years now, and when I got into affiliate marketing another screen was needed to keep everything organized.

BTW the extra monitor on the laptop is one of my old 19" I gave the other to a friend.

I run 2 30" Gateways at the office and 1 30" Mac at home.

I had to switch to just 1 monitor at home so there was a reason to go into my office.

 

[danbradster]

I use 3 but 2 is enough, 1 is insufficient.

22'' LG monitor for work and a 14'' HP Laptop for movies & downloads.

 

[bammbamm]

used to have three, now i'm down to two and find it slightly more productive but i do miss having a dedicated screen just for IM's and IRC.

For anyone who has 3 displays, does it work better than dual setup? How's your neck problem etc...? What's the ideal monitor model for 3 screens?
