Shifting into a double garage in a few days at a mates place ... got me PC and laptop all working stable, because i've got the space i'm thinking of aquiring a few big crt tvs (which either s-video or default RCA? (the coloured ones for xbox or ps!) inputs) ... two/three would be nice ... can i run three individual graphics cards on the pc (two pci the other agp) or will i need to also aquire a dual/tri graphics card (my current 9800pro has a dvi and s-video outputs (can i use these for separate screens)? thanks y'all :D

ok i read that twice and i still have no fucking clue what you're talking about or asking.

here is a tip: if you have one paragraph that:

a) is one sentence
b) has four sets of parentheses

then you have lost your entire audience in a flurry of punctuation mishaps.

thanks mojo, i'll break it up this time.

Lets try again!
...
I have a pc with one AGP and three PCI ports.
...
I want to connect up two/three televisions to my PC (aka multi-screen setup).
...
My TV's have RCA? (the coloured plugs at the back) and s-video inputs.
...
Can I purchase another two individual video cards ontop of my current radeon 9800pro (with DVI and s-video outputs), or do I need to purchase a special dual/tri mode graphics card?
...
Maybe I should have concentrated in English at school :D
...
Ta.

so you want to connect two televisions to your computer in addition to the monitor? since you have a 9800 pro, that card wiill handle two monitors already. just get a second PCI card to handle the other television using either s-video or composite and you should be good to go.

just to stay on the safe side, go with another ati card so you're not loading two different kinds of drivers.
