Re: I'm looking to buy a new PC so I gotta ask...

Others are much more expert than me on this, but I'd guess it would only let
you add more monitors.

I'd opt for a more powerful single card.

I'd also recommend you get a dual head board. True, right now you don't
want dual monitors. But some day you might want to run video on one while
in the video editor on the other. Or have your IDE environment on one while
the program is running on the other. Or your IDE on one with help text on
the other. Etc, Etc, Etc.

The uses of dual monitor are endless. And if your card supports it, it wont
cost you much to do it.

Don't need more monitors just the additional graphics processing and RAM
(I could be wrong...and often am...) but when using 2 video cards
strapped together in SLI not just give the additional boost? Or does it
just let me add additional mointors? If it's just adding capability for
additional monitors then I'll opt for a bigger video card instead of the
dual card config...
