connecting more than 1 monitors

A VGA splitter does allow a person to do that and it shouldn't require any additional software.

A VGA splitter is purely a distribution amplifier and transparent to the system. Something like an Extron P2DA2 or P2DA4 (2 way and 4 way respectively) provides one output designated as Local Monitor, and the second (3rd,4th) outputs are designed todrive remote displays down longer VGA cables.

it works as long as it has the drivers necessary to run it. you should look at the manufactureres website to look for updates to the software to patch any problems that they found after it was distributed

No, IMHO, a pure splitter needs no software. Even if the splitter has switches on it for directing the signal it still dont need software.
BUT if the splitter uses keyboard or some thing else attached to the computer for switching or tuning or anything - then You need software.
I would use 3 monitors with the same max color depth, resolution and freq.
