I'm a noob at this kind of stuff, so just asking the question...

If the OP has one 8800gtx graphics card that is pretty decent, could he just add another 8800gtx for less money then what the gtx280 would cost and put one monitor on one card, and the other monitor on the other card and get same / better performance?

Note: I have one 8800gts and went to shatt for the first time this week. I have had pretty good performance with XP and 4 gig ram running 5 on two 24" monitors, but in shat, my fps went into the 1-10 range from the 40-50 range, my ram usage went to 99%+ My alts where breaking follow all the time and the windows where siezing up. So I will have to do something...
