19 on star up and at idle 22 when runing normal with mssenger and ie and a few extras to boot

i have two monitors already and want to add a third i have an extra one laying around and i have a spare pci video card can i run the thrid off of it or do i have to do some thing special or is it just not posible. right now i am runing a radeon 9200 with dual monitors and have another pci video card with a 8 mb video mem can i run a third. i am runing xp with a 1.2 ghz processer and 512 mem with one 40 gig hard drive and another 320 for more space on a 300 watt psu and three cooling fans. what would i have to do to be able to use a thrid monitor i am perrty computer inclined and have done lots of computer repair and programing but have never found and info pertaning to three monitors just two i do a lot of mutitasking and two is just not enough any help would be great thanks

i found another one called ultramon it works perrty good

i already have that

thanks for the help i will try that i don't have to much trouble with the two monitors but three might be a prob i will just have to try and see i talked to some people and they said there is some software out there you can use but i have to find it first

is it at all posible to do this i mean have three monitors

i forgot to add something don't mess with anything other than startup in the msconfig unless you know what you are doing

ok go to run in the start menu and type msconfig all one word then when a window pops up got to the startup tab and uncheck everthing you don't need to startup when computer dose or you can go in to start all programs startup and delet everthing also run spyware and registy cleaners and if you can compact registy also se if you can find this program it is a bunch of tools in one system mechanic 7 it will give you a free 30 day trial but you should real turn off all programs from starting when computer dose slows down start up way to much also open windows task maneger by pushing ctrl+alt+del and see how many processes you have runing when you are not doing anything best amount to have is around 30 runing makes it so computer has a lot of free resources to perform faster you can also go in to the system controls and set everthing to performance to get a boost you can get to it by right clicking on my computer and going to properties then advanced then performance and set it to perfomance if you need any help send me a message i am all about performance and good graphics

the reson why is because im not the only one using it but i am very computer inclined but my roomate is not so i have to get something she can use too with some ease because im tried of windows xp not working properly this is the fifth time ive reinstalled it and now it wont activate so i said screw it and i'm just going to switch so if some one could give me some pointers on wich linux os i sould go with that is going to give really good perfomance and is easy to use for some one who dosent know to much about computers my roomate i might do a double boot and have a small hard drive with win xp 32 just incase in need it but i doubt i will need it.

thanks for the info and yes it is a valid copy i activated it 3 months ago and now i am haveing issues actvating it and i cant go back to the distributer where i bought it because i moved form florence wi to reedsburg wi so i kinda have a problem here so i said scerw it ive always wanted to try it so i'm just going to switch to linux i think its much better from what i hear from friends so. do you know where i can find a live cd i am kinda new to linux but don't mind tikering its kinda fun and can i run some of my windows programs on linux if not oh well.
