Adding another monitor

I currently am using two Samsung 19 inch monitors and need to add another.
I'm thinking of buying a 23 inch and put it in the middle between the two 19
inch.
The video card I have is Nvidia GeForce 6800GT.
What would be the best way to do this?
Should I buy one more video card that has at least one preferably two
monitors and use it on the new monitor? Should I buy a new video card that
has three monitor out's on it? Do they even make such video cards.
If I buy another video card and still use the one I have on the two 19 inch
all I have available are the PCI slots. Would that be OK?

Thanks

The *best* way (but clearly the most expensive way) is to replace your
card with one that supports three monitors. That has two advantages
over buying a second card:

1. You don't have to worry about possible incompatibilities between
two cards.

2. You don't get the slowdown of using a PCI card.
