More Information

Hoping some of you pros around here could give me a little bit of advice.

Currently I'm running the following:

Asus P5B Deluxe
Intel Core2Duo CPU 1.86GHz
2.0GB DDR2 Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GTS
Microsoft XP SP2

I'm looking to use my current 8600GTS as a secondary card in a triple LCD(3x Samsung Syncmaster 205BW 20" Widescreen) setup.

My question is: what card should I be looking at for a primary card in this setup? GeForce 8800? 9600?

My main usage consists of Second Life and World of Warcraft (Both of which I would like to run windowed across all three screens with moderate graphics settings) so approx. 3072X1024 resolution

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

-Creep
