I have a dual head video card that drives 2 monitors and COULD connect a third to the onboard VGA connector, so I think we all kind of agree the answer is yes.


Maybe... Quite often, when you use the Video card slot (be it AGP, PCI-e etc.), the on board video stops functioning.

To drive a large format TV you are best to use HDMI if you can. Certainly, it should be possible to install either a second video card or perhaps a triple head card. ATI and nVidia both have triple and quad offerings.

There is also an adapter from Matrox that might be of interest:

Gives single output laptops multiple monitor support.

FWIW I've been running 3 monitors on an XP box for years (at least 6 or 7) at my church (control screen, congregation display and foldback display).

You simply extend the desktop to cover the additional displays in the properties. Many video cards come with software to make managing desktops easier.
