  Dey! You only got one graphic processing unit and one center processing unit, how to split task? Even hyperthreading also can't coz you only have one mother board.
  
  How to send to 3 passage when you only have one graphic card? And out existing motherboard is not that clever to do this..
  
  If can display 3 different video, people buy 1 very powerful cpu and can host a lan shop with multiple monitor liao.

  Some graphics card allow up to 5 monitors to connect to one PC, but this will be extremely expensive. Most people connect 2 monitors at the most. No idea where to find such cards, you got to ask around.

  So are the 5 monitors showing the same display? That's not what I want.
  
  I know how to connect multiple monitors and display just ONE image over...I also know how to display the same image over the multiple monitors. But I have no idea if it's possible to have multiple images on multiple monitors run on a SINGLE CPU.

  Present gfx cards allows up to 2monitors. 3 and above, you can do research and tell us?

  Don't think it's possible, unless you are running some kind of super computer. I think only, not sure.

  one CPU to display same image over multiple monitors that can be done.
  
  one CPU to display different image over multiple monitors that as far as i know cannot be done.

  connect to 3 monitors, then run one video on realplayer, one video on microsoft video, one on divx or something, then maximise the screen for the 3 different monitors with different videos loh..

  All 3 monitors will show the same thing. I think he wants one monitor to show Real Player, another one to show WMP, last one to show VLC.

  One motherboard can only have 1 graphic card, unless is nvidia series (i forget the version liao)
  
  moreover, each mother board only have 2 slots max where to find 3?
  
  Even you have 2 different graphic cards, they still process the same thing, please, you only have one motherboard... just like a 2 lane traffic, one is go, one is come, no break point and no space for 2 and more car.
  
  Quit your thinking about having a split video...

  I'm not sure if there's any program which can control your gfx cards, but i know device manager can allow you to disable two cards and use one which you want.
  At end state, it doesn't make sense.
  
  My friend. You can get ONE gfx card with three video PORTS(if it exist). If it does, let me know also.
  
  IF not. You may get a video port adapter. Go Sim Lim Sq and ask around and how to go about connecting ONE desktop display to three monitors?
  
  What are you using for anyway? Why must be 3 displays?

  I haven't seen one gfx card having the ability to support three monitors.
  Max is two.
