Three vid cards?

I have an XP box with a VGA Radeon 7000 All-in-Wonder and a Radeon 7000 PCI card. I'd like to install a third card so I can run three monitors. Can I run another Radeon 7000, or should I use a different brand?

Thanks.

I don't see a problem with running another Radeon

What more hassle is there to using a regular video card as opposed to a dual output card? Does it take more to put the regular card in? ... certainly takes more money for a dual output card

Bingo. I already have two cards. No sense in forking over big bucks for a dual port card.

I would research this pretty carefully. I know that when using two web cams, you need to have two different manufacturers due to both of them trying to use the driver's at the same time. (Tech TV). I also see motherboards with two different on-board nic's for the same reason. This might not apply to video cards, but it is something to think about.
