Nice! I've got 2x 20" widescreens (and a 19" widescreen) at work and I love 'em. Stuck with a lousy 19" widescreen at home. I need to upgrade.

 Re: My 2 new additions
They also have 18.5's for $99. I tell you what I was playing train last night and it was a big freaking difference, it was so much more brighter. So no more hiding under the trains and killing me luff I can see now.

 Re: My 2 new additions
2 monitors is OLD, 6 monitors is where it's going. http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/10/ati- ... single-ca/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/23/ati- ... oving-nod/I think I'm gonna be getting an ATI card when I get back to the USA. From what I've read, the new ATI 5870 destroys everything like the Core2 Duo did a few years ago.

 Re: My 2 new additions
Not only does the HD 5870 support 3 monitors but it's just as good as any 2 GPU card right now... Reviews on tomshardware and anandtech...

 Re: My 2 new additions
ok now a tech question. Before the dual monitor upgrade I was running 2 evga 7600 gs 512 mb in sli mode. Now with the 2 monitors hooked up it seems sli connot be enabled. If I enable it, the second monitor shuts off and says no signal. Now I have googled it and found that some say you cannot have sli enabled and have dual monitors in windows xp. Is this the truth? I have both monitors hooked up to the main card. Maybe I should hook one up to each card? Geno says he has sli and dual monitors on xp. Whats my malfunction

 Re: My 2 new additions
Drivers have been updated, I put in a question at nvidia support and they say it is possible, but they needed more info b4 they could help me. Waiting on them to reply back now. Geno says he is running 2 monitors in sli with xp pro. So I should be able to too. Just gotta wait and see what nvidia says
