You do realize that you could just get another GTX260?

The G200 cards are also going to be able to run triple head in SLi....

And it appears that the latest NV drivers are able to run triple monitors in 2D mode now, just waiting until the release of the 256.xx drivers, which should be the next driver release, for the ability to run triple head in SLi in 3D mode.

I'm soooooo tempted to go buy another 24", especially because I wanna get another one that matches the two I already have and I can just see that if I don't get one soon they're gonna stop making them.

I still need SLI though? As I mentioned previously, I do not have an SLI motherboard. My power supply can take it but I think it would be cheaper to sell my 260GTX and get a 5850. That way I do not have to screw around with SLI/Crossfire quirks. The other thing that I do not like is that my 260GTX draws a bucket more power and runs a lot hotter with two or more monitors connected as the card is forced into 3D mode. From what I can gather the 5 series ATI cards are substantially more efficient in 2D mode with multiple monitors - plus I get DX11 (but lose physx )
