    Hi,

    I am using an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS graphics card running two monitors. Windows Vista.
    Is it possible to use the original onboard graphics port to attach a third monitor? If so how do I get it to happen?

    I am pretty sure nVidia do not have a way of letting you use onboard graphics chips in conjunction with discrete cards.

    Sorry!

    According to this web page, the graphics card has 3 outputs on it — VGA, DVI and HDTV/S-video. It may be possible to use all 3 simultaneously.

    Thanks to both helpers. Nvidia say that the card will only support two monitors at a time.
