Hi everyone, i already scrolled many articles of your website and the forum aswell, but i couldnt find an answer, or maybe i m just not as expert as i should be.
I would like to experience tri monitor gaming but i m unsure my actual setup would support games as COD4 MW or even in the future Black ops (although it just lags now).

My actual setup is as following:
CPU Intel E6600 @2.87 GHz
1 x Gigabyte GTX 470 OC
2MB RAM

Monitor at the moment:
1 x Eizo s2110W
1 x Eizo S2202W

Idea would be either to buy 2 other Eizo S2202W or hold the 2 above and buy just 1 S2202W more.
So, do you think with this setup it would be possible to experience Tri gaming?
If yes, i can imagine i would need Matrox TripleHead2Go.If not, what would i need?

Apologise if i did put in the wrong forum section, feel free to move the thread if needed.

Thank in advance for any support

:welcome

You have a couple fo options, 1 is as you mention to use a Matrox TH2G, or alternatively if your motherboard supports SLI then you could insert another GTX470 to run in SLI mode where you could use the Nvidia Surround Display technology. The Nvidia solution will require that you are using Win7 to operate.

I assume you ment you have 2GB of RAM not 2MB ;) of which it would not hurt to raise that to 4GB if you can afford to.
Otherwise you should be able to enjoy the Tri-Screen gaming experience without to many issues. :)
