I didn't get your question, what are you really trying to do? if you have 2 8800GT i see no use for an ATI graphic card :S

I believe he wants to run two monitors while IN SLI mode........can't do that without installing a third, non-nvidia graphics card to run the second monitor while the two SLI cards share the processing for the SLI monitor......lots of reports in lots of forums that that will work.

Actually the way i read his question is that he has one monitor that he wants to run in sli with his current duel's. But he wants to add a second monitor on its own graphics card which is not running SLI

Well that is totally possiable cause I am doign that, I have a MObo with 3 16 lane and (3) 6800 GTX it uses 2 for me main 30: monitor in sli mods, and the other two side ones (20") I have are runnign off the 3rd card.

I dont think you would have a trouble with running 2 of the same cards and one diffferent in XP.

But if you are runnign Vista then your gonan have troubles, Vista does not like it when you have 2 diff kinds of video cards installed, the (2) sets of drivers will confuse it alot.

I can run both vista and Xp with the sli and the two sides cause they are all exactly the same card.
