Is it possible to have 3 displays on and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Cause it
has one VGA port, one DVI port and and S-Video port. But as far as I
know it only lets you use 2 simultaneously. It detects all three when
they’re pluged in, but it only lets you use 2 displays. Maybe theres
some kind of extra software i need? Thanks for any pointers.
 
the card will only display 2 outputs...........it only has 2 heads
your choice of which 2

Sorry I am off topic but...

I have never been able to grasp the term "heads" for video display cards. What's up with that?
Heads are on video/audio tape players right?

Thanks
