    I have 3 monitors I want to set up on my machine at the house, the center being a Dell 2001FP and the two side monitors are Dell 1505FP's. The tricky part is that I want the 1505's to be rotated on their sides because the width of them is the same as the height of the 2001fp. I currently have an ATI all-in-wonder 9600 video card with dual VGA out and right now have two of the monitors connected to it.

    My questions are:

    1. What is the best way for me to rotate the images on the 1505's that are turned sideways so I can have a seamless desktop?

    2. What should I do about a Video card or cards?

    You can try getting a 2nd video card to handle the 3rd monitor. It should work without a problem. For the rotating part, you can get a program called Ultramon that will give you great control over the monitors, including the ability to rotate the displays for the 2 end monitors.
