3 monitors with a 9700 pro?
I have 2 2005FP dells right now and I like to use my tv (svideo) with watching tv shows. One is connected via DVI, the other normal VGA, and the TV via svideo.

Right now I can only run either 2 monitors, or one monitor and the TV. Any way to fix this?

You could through in one of this slightly expensive PCI cards to run that second monitor or TV along with the other two...

Thought the 2005FP monitors had a picture in picture mode as well?

Or have I misunderstood the question!

You are correct, they do, but I think you are mis understanding the question.
The software only allows 2 video outputs, either 2 monitors or a Monitor/TV. I was to run all three at once. (Im crazy)

I am half temped to buy dual PCIe cards, run a monitor off each, and the tv off the primary one.

Spendy I know, but I paid $600 for both these monitors and I dont mind spending another $400 on cards.

Yes, as pointed out, the card you have can only handle two different outputs. Thus to drive three display devices, you'd need another card!
