You're right on the GTO bit... (it's an x800 GTO, although, it's about ready for the sale bin...the fan makes rattly noises, and I want an 8800GTS anyway)...

But, most of this was brought on by me reading some comment on newegg about someone buying a PCI x1300 low profile (read: crappy) graphics card so that they could run another monitor.

I've seen PCI-Ex1 cards, so I was thinking, wouldn't it be neat to have an 8800GTS doing the main work, with something low-end and cheap rendering another couple of monitors on the other interface slots.

I don't personally see myself straying above two monitors any time soon, but it's kind of cool to think that for just a little bit more...well, weight, money, labor, you take your pick...I could run four monitors.

Exciting stuff.

It really is a shame the 8800 series is not capable of outputting to four monitors, because I'm sure it could handle it. It could probably handle four player Unreal 2003 DM games on just one computer, if you could associate mouses and keyboards with screens.
