Im thinking of getting the Matrox Triple Head Go. I havent seen too many benchmarks with 3840x1024 resolution so I ask the kind people here, is SLI a must for that kinda setup?

Well, the thing is, im getting a laptop, and please for the love of god, nobody convince me otherwise XD. Job demands it.
New SLI notebooks came out and I can get either a 7950GTX or I can get two 7950GTX.
The normal aspect ratio's for game resolutions are 4:3 and 16:10, and rarely 5:4 and 16:9. the resolution you're looking at would be 3.75:1 which is not a supported resolution. Games are not made for surround gaming currently.
However, I can get one with very similar specs for $2500 with a 7950GTX.
This one would be with a C2D laptop processor, and I would then wait until Santa Rosa comes out in the summer, by then I should get the introduction to the DX10 laptops.
But judging by those benmarks, I am pretty sure that one 7950GTX should be enough to get at least 30fps at those resolutions. Those games should keep me busy for a while.
When I start playing next-gen games, Ill get a desktop with SLI to push the surround sytem.
Sound like a plan?
Would you happen to know if it is possible to use different monitor sizes for the TH2G? What would be the result?
Wouldn't worry too much about the DX10.... IF you can get one with an external PCIe connector (not Express Card), then you could use LASSO and then buy whatever you want for graphics, and also remove it when not gaming.
Please explain.
(what monitors have a native resolution of 1024 vertical beside 1280 x 1024, which would be 3 x 15" monitors or something like that?)
I think I would prefer a single 24" widescreen at 1920 x 1200 at its native resolution, or the one just below (1680 x 1050)
The games are listed on Matrox's site, but are they really playable ? The system doesn't seem to be very popular (I hardly ever read about it in forums) so it doesn't seem like it's gaining traction.
Here's a Tom's Hardware article about the triplehead2go, they don't seem too hot about it
