I have three monitors but only use one monitor to play games.  I was looking up info for playing games and using all of them.  There doesn't seem to be too much info. 

Does anyone play games with more than one monitor at the same tme?

I tried using the nVidia control panel, but the setting isn't there to configure a horizonal span with non-crossfire/sli setup.  I'm using a Galaxy 8800GT and a 6200LE.  

I have a LANParty UT P35 T2R, so only crossfire available @ 16X/4X....
I did see an item on ebay that was interesting.  A Visiontek 3870 X2 Overclock Editiion that had 4 DVI's.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110315215369&ssPageName=...

Unfortuneately, the 4 DVIs only work in 2D.  Only 2 DVI's are enabled in 3D

I picked up a Matrox TripleHead2Go.  They were highly recommended and the information on them is excellent.  I won one on eBay.  It should be here in a couple weeks and I will post screenshots and other stuff when I get it.  I'm pumped!!!!   Cool

Here's a good link: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/

Some cool downloads: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/surroundgaming/en/downloads/
