triple monitor with a GeForce GTS 250

so I bought a new computer recently that came stock with a GTS 250 videocard, and was looking to add another video card for triple monitor display. my only options for expansion are PCI and PCIe x1. what videocards are compatible/would work with this setup?

Envida FX 5200 will work with the latest vista driver. It's a PCI DX9. $39 Newegg. I just got it going with Win 7 Pro 32 Bit.

As said, you need a PCI slot card. Try here: Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,Video Cards & Video Devices,Desktop Graphics / Video Cards,PCI

Ok, so I've got an FX 5200, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. Whenever I start up my computer, the graphics card shows up in device manager, but it says that it cannot start.

Can't use an FX5200 with a GTS250. The two cards use two different drivers, which you can't mix and match.

The lowest you could go is a 6 series Nvidia card, so if you could get hold of a Geforce 6200 PCI card, that *should* work, or get an ATI card as a secondary card.

Why would using an ATI as a second card work? I thought you couldn't mix drivers?

The FX5200 doesn't have a Windows 7 driver with WDDM 1.1, so it can't work alongside the Nvidia driver you already have installed for your GTS250.

So would it be more effective to get an ATI card, or an nVidia one from the same driver set?

Well it's up to you and whichever you can find. I'm not sure off the top of my head which cards in the 6 series and up are PCI. Looking on Newegg a PCI 6200 is like $80

Newegg.com - SPARKLE SFPC84GS256U2LP GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI HDCP Ready Video Card

About the cheapest and easiest solution, and uses the same WDDM 1.1 driver as ther GTS 250.

Does any of you guy's know if it's possible to use the geforce 6200 card alongside an Intel Integrated Graphics Hybrid Multi-monitor for a third monitor?
Both cards are detected fine in win7. Even the third monitor is detected and win says it works fine, but it won't turn itself on.
So
Monitor 1 on geforce 6200 - works
Monitor 2 on integrated intel - works
Monitor 3 on geforce 6200 - doesn't turn on, but is working fine according to windows

When i turn the integrated intel video card off in the bios, both monitors connected to the geforce work fine. So it's not cables or anything..

I've been trying alot of things but i can't get it to work. According to an intel document i found on the internet about the Hybrid Multi-monitor Support it should be possible.
