Hi,

I am in the medical field and in the radiology department, I review images
from CT CAT scanning, In the hospital obviously we have an IT and all the
help we can get.

Here at home, I am on my own. I only have one PC (desktop) with Win XP Pro
32 bit.

Here is what I wish to accomplish:

I want to remove my video card and toss it, I want to purchase a video card
that has THREE VGA or DVI where I can connect three monitors into one
video card and be able to view a very large document and be able to move it
from one monitor into another monitor and even a third monitor.

So basically how can I have one computer with three monitors. Also I
need to be able to reboot my PC and be able to go back to my WIN XP without
having to spend several minutes and reconfigure the three monitors, I want
windows to remember the last conf settings.

Why all the video cards have only 2 inputs and not three? what is
someone wants three! am I missing anything ? Thanks in advance for
all your help.

Check your motherboard manual. If you have one bought recently and it is
PCIe compatible then you could, possibly, install two each video cards with
two each 'outputs' (not inputs) and, viola, the ability to connect up to
four monitors.
