I've been running 3 monitors for a while now and its been an amazing experience, if you haven't tried it yet do it. Typically I use my left monitor (19" Wide screen from Hanns-G) for my ripped movies, my center monitor (22" Wide screen Hanns-G) and my right display for mirc and twitter and such (19" Wide screen from Hanns-G) with the left and right monitors on one GPU and my center display on its own dedicated card.
I was looking at upgrading to some new GPUs to get some better performance for games, especially when running my HD movies on my left screen. With the new line of eyefinities that can support up to 6 it got me thinking... Is one really high end card better for multiple displays or is 2 separate cards a better value.
My setup:
Windows 7: Ultimate Edition
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H
8 gigs of G.SKILL 240-Pin DDR3
2x EVGA 01G-P3-N981-TR GeForce 9800 GT
