I think only the Parhelia supports this.

Say! Could you by me a new Amana stainless side by side fridge?

Just askin'.

I dont think your GF4 even has connectors to connet all three of those, so Parhelia is the (only?) way...

Apart from the previous generation nVidia Quadro boards, only the Parhelia supports 3 monitors. Just take a look at the back of your card, you should get 2 DVI and perhaps a TV out, but I don't think you can use them as 3 unique outputs, only 2.

The 3 screens can connect to each other so it actually only connects with 1 cable

Oh damn, i can see my desktop in surround but not games  

guess ill have to buy a parhelia

Well, if you already have three monitors, then you really don't have any other choice.

The bad thing is that Perhelia performace is not as good as GF4 ti 4600 performance. Image quality is better though, but performace is more important.

You say you can connect 3 monitors with 1 cable. What is your desktop resolution when you do this?

I would be surprised that your video card recognises the configuration and exposes those modes, but even if it does for windows desktop, it may not for a full screen render target.
