Matrox TripleHead2Go & SLI/CrossFire

Excellent, having a read now!

Awesome review. I can't wait to test it out once I have my new system setup. I'll add my reviews of some of the latest games to this thread. I would nominate this equipment within the top 3 tech products of the year. I deal with traders all day so I'm a monitor junkie. I bought these units primarily for a group of traders that prefer to run their apps from their laptops but wanted 2-3 monitors. Matrox solved that problem with this wonderful device and considering what it does, I think its a steal @ $329 for the TripleHead2Go.
 
I've been running a TripleHead2Go with SLi video cards for a while now. It works well and overall I really enjoy it although it takes a little more work sometimes to get games running nicely. There are several FPS games that need a field of view adjuster to get the best experience as they simply cut the top and bottom off the picture by default. Unfortunately some games just won't work in super widescreen at all and you end up having to play them on the center monitor only. That being said there are a lot of games that work right out of the box. The experience playing driving sims and FPS games is fantastic with all the extra peripheral vision that you get, it makes games much more immersive. 3840x1024 takes a fair amount of video horsepower to run so just make sure you get some powerful cards to SLi.
 
I'm currently in the process of piecing together a new gaming/test machine. I would like to wait on the 9800X2 boards to run in dual or even triple SLI. Although that depends on the performance reviews. Considering what we're seeing on the 9800GTX I'm not optimistic right now. We'll see what happens.

Thank you for the info!
