But you'd need them in SLI, right? There simply wouldn't be enough plug-ins with only one vid card.
Unless they've updated the SLI drivers, you can usually only run a single monitor while you have the cards in SLI. They likely haven't, since doing dual monitors with SLI kind of runs counter to the whole idea of SLI.
You don't need it for dual 3007FPWs, though, because Dual link DVI doesn't use two connectors. Instead, they use all the available pins in the existing DVI connector. Single-link DVI cards and cables only 18 out of 24 pins in the connector, while dual link equipment uses all 24. Since more pins are in use, you only use a single cable on the 3007FPW.
Since some cards like the eVGA 7900GT or GTX have twin dual link DVI ports, you can run two 3007s off a single card (as MS Dawn mentioned). This means that if you had money to burn and a crazy VESA mounting system available, you could grab yourself a
Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Quad Royal, four
eVGA 7900GT cards and roll with
eight 3007FPWs - presumably to join the Swordfish re-enactor's guild. (Topless Hallie Berrie sold seperately).
