Quick question for you all. I'm thinking of setting up a multi-monitor system. And, frankly, I don't mean two monitors. I already have two monitors, and it isn't enough. I'm thinking six monitors.

So, I figure, I need three graphics cards... so, the question is, do PCIe x16 graphics cards run in x16 phy / x8 electrical slots (which I believe one of the 3 x16 slots on this motherboard would be)?

Also, is there anything I need to know about running an SLI motherboard without using SLI?
