as soon as you activate SLI you can only run 1 monitor, you could however put in two cards and (not sli connected) and run up to 4 screens
I wasn't sure if that was a possible solution, would that give an extra performance boost like SLI or would it just allow for the extra monitors?
and if not would it be possible to do both? Run SLI when I want the extra power boost and run them seperately for multi-boxing?

using a windows vista, would be the stupidest thing ever ! use linux or windows xp.. know it only register 3 gb ram, but my 5x wows only take 2,3 and i am able to use 3,4 before it reaches it limit.. and xp only eats up the 300 Mb ram, were vista uses 1 gb... Xp and linux will aswell be improving your perfomence A LOT, would guess:

XP = 10-20 %
linux= 15-40 %
As much as I would prefer to stick with XP I hear that 64-bit is a lot more buggy than 32-bit, as for Linux I would actually like to use Linux but i've never used it before and I wouldn't be comfortable putting it on this PC. Also I plan to use this PC for other games as well and not just multiboxing so the extra 4GB of ram i could use will make up for what I lost and although I don't like vista I don't seem to have much of a choice :S, thanks for the advise though


Thanks for all your help guys :thumbup:
