I've been planning a new rig for a while and have been curious if I crossfire 2 ATI cards if I can do 3-4 monitors running at once.
Also I would like to know the size of the monitor(s) I should buy to match my two 17" CRTs in the following fashion to keep the heights flush.
The reason for this is to have one screen broadcasting, sometimes recording TV all the time (I'm buying a TV tuner), one for gaming, or to have two free for my school/work projects (lots of internet browser windows open at once, usually 1-3 instances of MS Word/Excel) I am a multitasker to the max and want a really good desktop gaming/work-station.
Would CrossfireX be capable of doing this? (Two 3450s or something of the sorts just for the extra monitor hookup)
Also, would 2 3450s or 2 3650s outperform a 512mb GDDR3 2600XT?
