Anyone running 3 monitors with Pro Tools HD3?

I have a dual 1.8 G5 and currently running (2) 18' analog LCDs.
Apple monitors dropped prices again and I'm looking for more visual real estate.
My computer has the standard (too little) video ram. I'd like to do dual 23" or perhaps (3) monitors with a resolution and screen size that would work within the limits of my G5.

If anyone is using 3 monitors...what video card and monitors are working for you?

Jim, I recall reading a thread about a year ago on the DUC about the fact that it's not possible to run three monitors on a G5 with Pro Tools HD. Some sort of Digi hardware problem. It was mentioned in the thread that the picture showing three screens on Digi's website was a picture of a PC not a Mac. Do a search on the DUC.

I appreciate the replies.

I've posted at the DUC as well. I will also do a search for the thread you mentioned.

The Matrox TripleHead2Go looks like a possible solution. I'm looking into it.

Thanks.

I did post a thread a while back asking about preferences between the dual monitor vs a single 30" monitor concept. I was leaning towards the latter. However, if the 3 monitor concept doesn't work out I believe (2) 23" monitors might be the way for me.
