So, just to make sure that I get it right (before I actually start 
buying stuff): if I
- get a board like the Intel DH77DF, which has DP+HDMI+DVI, and
- connect 2 identical monitors to the DP and the HDMI ports, and
- connect a 3rd monitor to the DVI port,

then it's supposed to give me a desktop spanning 3 monitors?

I am using DVI monitors, so I guess I will need a passive DP -> DVI 
adapter and a passive HDMI -> DVI adapter.
Is that right?

Thank you for explaining:
