How to make your computer support 3 display? LCD displays 1280 by 1024?

At the moment I am using a P4 3Ghz computer that is 478 pin with only a agp slot for graphics cards that is geforce 6600LE 256mb and a few free pci slots. The ram is at 3gb. Right now i have plugged two display one DVI and one D-sub VGA. So that makes the S-video free only. Can i get another lcd that support s-video so to make it three display? My bro says it is impossible and even demostrated by plugging the tv which only gives the option of plugging two display.

Answers:
it is possible, just not the way that your thinking...

all you need is a dvi Y connector...one in two out which will essentially give you the same signal to two monitors and the third will run off the vga.

S-vid is garbage connection, you don't want to use it anyway...
Your brother is correct, the s-video port is not an EXTRA port but rather the same output as the DVI or D-sub VGA. You would need another PCI graphics card to get a 3rd display.
Windows will only handle 2 displays... though you can split one signal to run multiple monitors you can only see 2 different images at a time.
the only way i could think of would be to upgrade to a 6800 sli or any li ready graphics card if you have the slot for them, if not then im not thinking it possible. but if you did you could run two 6800's in sli and off of those run four dvi plugged monitors and still have two s-videos left over or even better run one big monitor and have each gpu run a half of the screan.
WindowsXP can support ten displays. You need a VGA splitter. Link below.

How to set up multiple monitors, link below.
You can have as many as 10 monitors hooked up, if you have the resources. Each PCI slot on your motherboard can fit a PCI video card, and each PCI video card (that has the right drivers) can add a monitor to your computer. This is a cheap and effective route. You could probably find a AGP or PCI video card somewhere that has 3 outputs to it, but I doubt it would be worth it. Just throw another PCI video card in there--they are cheap. Note that according to one of the sites I listed below, not all video cards will support being a multiple monitor, but I have never seen such a thing. :)
