I think you can only run 2 per card, not sure though because yours is an X2.

I thought only the 5800 series could run 3 at once off a single card/

I don't think you can get 3 monitors on that card. I think the 5800 series is the only technology you can get 3 monitors on.

You should be able to get 2 monitors on there. I'm running a VGA and a DVI cable off my 9800GTX+. I got the adapter plug with my Video card - but you can buy em on ebay - or from newegg for a few bucks.

If you use the HDMI plug - It's my understanding that you can only run one of the other two DVI - totalling 2 displays.

Yup 5800 series is the only card that can run 3 monitors. Unless, you are using a TH2GO: http://techgage.com/article/matrox_triplehead2go_digital_edition/

I run multiple screens on a 9800GT... it's bound to work on an X2.

3 monitors at once with a span view? No, I dont think so

Using 3 monitor at once and using 3 monitors together are two different things

Together: Span view
