3 monitors with dual head PCIe card + PCI card?

[jlizarraga]

Hi all,

At work, I use one of these:

Which has an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro in it (PCIe). This card is currently running two monitors via VGA @ 1280x1024.

We are trying to see what it will take to add a third monitor to this setup. This forum topic suggests that it can be accomplished with a secondary PCI card, but as far as I can tell no one ever confirmed it:

Does anyone know if this will work? Would it need to be an ATI card?

Thanks!

EDIT: Hi googlers. It does indeed work. We're even using an older Nvidia card along side the ATI and it works fine.
