I'm building a new PC and have some questions about SLI.

Here is what I intend to buy...

GeForce 7900GTX x2
ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe

Here are my questions...

1. Does SLI support multiple monitors?

2. Is there anything extra that I need or does the motherboard come with everything needed for the SLI setup?

3. Is SLI even worth it? Should I just spring for a newer, single card?

Thanks!

#1 - Really not sure, but I believe you cannot use multiple monitors in SLI mode. Could very well be wrong.
#2 - No, your mobo should come with a little SLI bridge (it's a PCB thing with connectors on each end
#3 - Depends. IMO no it's not worth it, unless you feel you need the performance gain, and can't wait to see what new cards are like. A 7950GX2 might be a better buy than 2x7900GTX anyway though if you can't wait for the 8800 cards.
