3 monitors can be accomplished with 2 video cards. However, I prefer to play on just the center screen.

X on linux/*bsd can combine several graphic cards to one desktop. The X.org team built a 9 head system with 5 graphics for an exhibition a few years ago iirc...

Hardware wise, I have 1 card in a PCIe slot and one in a PCI slot. Both cards have both DVI and VGA output.

Software wise, Windows allows you to configure your cards vs. multiple monitors very easily within display properties.

Each box is draggable, so you can rearrange the monitors however you'd like. The video output is selected from the Display: dropdown menu.

I also use UltraMon because it allows me to add extra taskbars to other monitors (windows doesn't support this natively) and set hotkeys to move applications to another monitor/maximize an application across all monitors.
