It depends on your OS and your cards, iirc. XP can just do it, Vista upward seem to need native driver support. I can't even go fullscreen on one monitor anymore without disabling the other one.

MD
I guess that you have considered the 'hardware' route ie TripleHead2go from Matrox. This can support up to 2/3 monitors graphics card dependant.
Samsung also make a range of monmitors the MD series that come in 3's and 6's and they are well supported using ATI cards.

Mike, there is a check box in the first RW settings screen that asks how many monitors you are using. Single, two, three. Then you have to figure out the resolution. For two monitors, double the first number as in 1920x1080. Double 1920, leave 1080 because you are just doubling the horizontal not vertical. You may have to do some fiddling with the Nvidia control panel.

I tried dual monitors about a year ago and it just didn't look right. The darn bezel on the monitors broke up the picture too much. There are several software kludges to try and fix that missing bit but it never looked right. Back to one nice 24" single monitor.
