Hi Trevor...

I'm not aware of any three monitor cards for the Mac, however we simply bought ANOTHER Nvidia card for our G5's which works just as well. Of course if your low on slots, this doesn't help...I know Matrox has one, but as far as I know it's PC only.

Matrox makes a splitter that looks like a big display to the card the divides the image up to 2 or 3 monitors
