My current vid card, a gforce 8800 gts, has a dvi and vga slot for monitors.
and I am currently using both. When my new tablet comes in, it requires a monitor slot as well, but I can't buy a new vidcard, and splitters only clone monitors.

I would love to keep the dual monitor setup and then the tablet be the third, but I only have 2 slots, what can I do?

If you have open PCI slots you might be able to buy a really cheap video card to attach the tablet to it other than that you might have to just swap tablet and the monitor when you want to draw something
