New ATI video cards will let you run 6 screens

Next generation ATI cards

Soon, you'll not only have a dedicated home theater room in your house, but also a dedicated gaming room to store all those screens..

it's the plan to boost the real-estate market

I'd rather just have one monitor.  The breaks in between the monitors when you have them strapped together like that looks bad.

You can run up to nine as long as you have the available bus slots and video cards to do it anyways.

It makes a huge difference having mutliple monitors for development or even sales work.  I have 3 in my office.

I've only just made my first forrays into 2 monitors. Slow down!

If they're going to do this I wish windows would support them properly. It'd be awesome to be able to run a game full screen on one but have a mp3 player, the internet, msn, etc.... open on another screen.

I see how that is useful. I'm only talking about in games.

It could be good properly implimented ala NDS.
i.e. the secondary screen is your inventory or somesuch.

still won't be powerful enough to run a Paradox game.

I want a wall of screens.

I use two monitors at home since... perhaps two years ago. One 22" 16:9, one 19" standard, they work perfectly well together. It's really useful, a desktop can never have too much real state and I can, for example, play in the 22" and check if I receive an e-mail I'm waiting at the same time.

And boy, does the array impress visitors!

Ok Morpheus.

But you can't read that email without messing up the game

Also, some games that commonly run in full screen like The Sims will lock you into one screen.

I really use multiple monitors only for complex graphics projects: my laptop screen runs toolboxes when I'm using The Gimp, for example, while my big ol' 19" 4:3 has the picture itself up.
