I currently have 2 monitors Benq 24" & samsung 22" as a dual setup and am looking to buy a dell 30" monitor, can I use my 8800gtx to power the dell and BenQ and use my old card 7900gtx to power my samsung 22".
I am a complete n00b when it comes multiple monitor setup and would greatly benefit from a simple run down on how to go about a 3rd monitor setup.
thanks in advance

Sorry to be so simple minded, but does that mean when I'm gaming it will be spread across all 3 monitors?
If that is the case is there anyway i cant just used the dell for gaming and use the other 2 monitors for web browsing as such?
My current setup allows me to game on my 24" monitor and browse on my other at the same time.
I would go sli but I just found out my mobo(ABIT AW9D MAX Motherboard) only supports crossfire, but still supports dual nvidia cards, as I have just purchased this mobo I'm no inclinde to throw it just yet
thanks again
