I want to set up my computer with 3 LCD monitors. I have a Intel D915GAG MOBO with a Pci express port. Currently my one Lcd is connected to the built in motherboard connector. What I wanted to do was put in a Pci express video card with dual monitor support. Would this give me the results I want My main Lcd in the Middle from the mobo, and my two new lcd's and Card on the left and right side?

Its for a business setup, the guy want to have two dispach screens on either side of the regular monitor.
 
Yes, it should work fine. As long as you have enough ports, and the cards these ports belong to are enabled and have working drivers its fine. Only it'd be better if you connected your center monitor to the newer video card, because since you will use it as the primary display, all your games and software that runs full screen will run there, and you want it to run fast. So setup one of the side screens on the built in port.
