I use a Matrox TripleHead2Go for three monitors off a single Nvidia 8400 on my Ubuntu LINUX machine, which turns my three 19" widescreen monitors into a single 3840x1024 (3 x 1280 x 1024) monitor. Kinda sucky card but since I only play EQ on it works just fine. Previously I used it on Windows XP and Vista and works fine with them too, with some added functions (in Linux the windows don't snap to the monitor when you want full screen like in Windows for example, it goes across the whole display) There's a function to slide the images around so the monitor bevels blank out the image (like a window frame) rather than the image ending abruptly on one monitor and resuming from the next column on the next screen, which distorts the image. I set the monitors up so the bevels overlap so I lose half the amount of image per bevel, works really nice. The TripleHead2Go Digital Edition was about $275 in Canada. Here's a link:

It's nice to have EQ up in the middle, Alla up on one side and P99 forums up on the other

Then again full screen I'd need a 4th monitor for Alla LOL (you can hook a 4th monitor to the second port on your display board)

I have a pic of my setup around here somewhere I'll post if I find it.
