The term is Multiple Monitors, but I've been able to connect two. Is this the limit?

No, I'm using 3 myself, others are using 4 or more. See http://www01.u-page.so-net.ne.jp/fa2/k_tagaya/OnW2KRC2.html for a six-monitor config.
As for the limit, 9 is sometimes mentioned, but I also read somewhere that Microsoft had a 33-monitor config up and running for testing purposes (using special hardware of course...).
You could also get 2 4-port multimon cards, for a total of 8 monitors!

Can you fill me in on why you use 3 monitors? I have set up a 2nd one, but mainly to see if I could do it.
What do you use/need 3 for?
Just interested,

Here are some scenarios:
Software development: Visual C++ on the primary, documentation on the second monitor, and Windows Explorer on the third monitor.
Web development: text editor on one, Netscape and Internet Explorer on secondary monitors for previewing.
Internet: doing research on the net with 3 monitors is great. You can have search engine results on one monitor and view the sites on the two others.
I usually have 20-30 apps open, so the third monitor always comes in handy...

Thats a lot of windows!
I definitely see the advantages of 2 - I also do the web development example.
