    I can get two to work by plugging them both in to the top card, but the bottom card stays on the desktop. SLI is disabled, so that's not the problem. Running XP. Any help is much appreciated.

    You need to run them in SLi and get a Matrox TripleHead2Go. Bit did a review of it a while back.

    If the program can be run in windowed mode, then you can scretch the display across the 3 screens.
    However the Field Of View will be out a bit, so will need to be adjusted accordingly.

    Note this is in windowed mode and thus when playing games your have the boarder around the edge of the screen as you would with any other windowed application.

    The "TripleHead2Go" will split a signal to 3 screens in a full screen mode, without boarders, to do this it would be wise to use SLI.

    Bit've a shame that the TH2G limits to analogue, and is damned criminally expensive.

    I believe there was a DVI version too, however the resolution on each screen was still rather limited, and yet even more expensive than the analogue edition.
