Duel Video Cards

[Wren]

Im trying to figure out how to do this and if my system will do it with no problem before buying 3 new monitors. I want to run 3 monitors for a racing game (one front view and 2 side view screens). I know that the game supports it because others are doing it. I also would like to know if i have to buy the same exact vid card or will another nvidia card that is a bit cheaper do the job? My vid card that i have now does have 2 monitor outputs so i assume that i will need another one. any help will be appreciated!

Specs:

Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 3)
Intel core 2--1.86 GHz processor
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS Video Card
4 GB Ram
127GB HD
ASUS P5N-E SLI Motherboard
Not sure of the exact watt of the power supply without taking it out
But it is a cool master and at least 650 Watt.

im not sure about nvidia...but i have 2 ati cards n they have to be within the same "family" like 4000 series wont work with 3000 series cards,
but yeah to run 3 monitors im sure youd have to get another card just to hook up the 3rd monitor but another thing you might want to consider is how much detail you want, like if the graphics are gonna be on low, med, high or like ULTRA high, ya know??
id probly just get another graphics card that is the same model you have...i dont think 8800s are going for that much anymore, also you gotta think about the resolution too...
OH! n make sure your power supply is sli ready or youll have to get more power connectors too!
