Can either group do a three monitor setup with (2) 20" 1600x1200 and (1) 24" 1920x1200 monitors?

They would all be in landscape mode obviously.

2nd question I guess is, would the vertical size of the screens be close enough to look alright?

I was looking at a Samsung 204T. Is it going to be too slow of a monitor for games? It is an SPVA monitor with a response time of 16ms.

1) nvidia will definitely do it with newer generation GPUs natively... jc... will your 8800GTS even run 3 monitors? as for eyefinity, i have no idea

2) as long as the physical screens are in a line and (at least close to) vertically centered, it should look just fine

with nv u need sli or it wont work, and i think with both u need the same rez on each monitor, u could set it up as an extended desktop but i dont think that fullscreen mode will work

Right now I am using an 8800gts and an old 7600gt for 4 monitors. Obviously I am not doing SLI surround or Eyefinity right now but plan to at some point this year.
