multiple monitors

[simonb]

hi everyone http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I am trying to install a 3rd monitor and have run into some problems. I got 2 up and running ok (one on 32MB TNT riva AGP and other on 32MB RIVA M64 PCI)
The 3rd i am trying to connect using an old (but still ok) 4MB PCI card. when i re-boot, i get a msg (on the 3rd monitor) that the adapter has initialised ok but then windows stops loading - the windows logo screen is the last i see...wont go on to load desktop icons etc...
Is this a sign that the 3rd card is too slow, or that i dont have enuff RAM (128MB)...or anything else...
All suggestions most appreciated http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif

I would first double check to see if you have avaliable IRQ's for that many Video cards. Also check to see if that 3rd video card is on the approved list of known working cards in multi-video setups
