Well I got a 2005fpw and a new 931bw and another 2005fpw possibly on its way. I got a new desk big enough to support all three. I got a pci-e 6800GS and a pci mx4000. So I can use three monitors. Can someone fill me in on how this would work? Do I have a main monitor in the middle? I use dual rite now and the left in the main one. Also if I do use three monitors, I was thinking about the 931bw in the middle and the 2005fpw on the sides, but then I'm not sure if the quality of the 931bw is worthy to be my main one. Any thoughts will be helpful. Also I'm practically set on having 3 monitors so no need to convince me otherwise.

well i would think the biggest one should be your main one, and the others can be for browsing, email and whatnot. Your main one def should be running off the high end video card. Are you planning on having the monitors running on different cards? i would assume it would be quite complicated having different cards talking to each other output the same image, since they wouldn't be sli.

Someon more knowledgable would probally know more on this subject, but I thought i would throw in what i thought. ;)

Thanks. I didn't actually think about which monitor should go with with card. Would 2 x 2005fpw on the 6800gs too much or should I combo it with the lesser 931bw?
