Morning all,
I've posted as I've done loads of reading but would really appreciate some confirmation of what I think i should pull the trigger on!

I am looking to add a third and then possibly fourth display.
I have a Dell dimension C521 with 4 GB(3.25 useable) of ram
32 bit o/s windows 7
AMD Athelon64 Dual Core Processor4600 2.4GHz dual core
currently I am running two HP LP2065 monitors.

I would like to add a Dell 29 super wide, as the horizontal dimensions are what I need for 6 plus hours of use a day. I need a long x axis!
I think the card I need for my system would be:

PNY NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 420 512MB PCI-E X16 GRAPHICS CARD

Is this correct?
My other grey areas are: What leads should I get to hook it all up?

I did notice on the following link
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_nvs_420_us.html
at the bottom it says I would need a displayport connection.to also make sure I got the best resolution offered by the new Dell. ( ibelieve the dell has this dp port)

Other queries for anyone that wants to help me get over this canyon of a gap in my knowledge are!
I notice other 29" monitors boast an MHL connection but the dell does not. But is it correct that I could just use a mhl -hdmi adaptor to enable the Dell to do this anyway?
any help would be very much appreciated as im in a real squeeze to get this worked out!
Cheers IN advance for any help you can give me!
, LL

so progress so far.
I think I need the following.
because the monitors are dvi inputs, I should get dual port VHCDI to quad display port dongle and then get a converter for my original dvi screens. That would be two display port to dvi adaptors.
Any comments appreciated!
