Hi Henrik, Thank you very much for the response. I really don't care about the SLI. I'm not that into gaming. I'm mainly just concerned about the dual displays. However, if I'm reading this correctly it sounds pretty cool. Could I use both video cards together, in SLI mode, to output a game on one display? And when not playing games, use both video cards independently for dual display in windows? If so, that would be pretty awesome.
Thanks!

I use two Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 PCIe, which are connected to two Dell 2405 LCD's, I could hook two more up, but I would not be able to have SLI running :-) I hope this answers your question, also if you want to color calibrate your screens, you need independent video cards for each screen with separete LUT's regards Henrik Tived ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Klein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'The Hardware List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 10:57 PM Subject: [H] Dual Display >I have an SLI motherboard, it's an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe.
