This message is in reply to an e-mail I recieved asking how I got it working. Since so many people are asking here, I descided to create a page detailing (with pictures) how I did it.
Hope it is usefull to someone.

Jeff: Thanks for posting the info on the web. It would be a lot easier to read if the font wasn't so dark.

Dang, I betcha mine won't work cuz of the new drivers, and I can't use old drivers because I have a 5950ultra, soon to be a 6800gt... oh well. Good thing I was able to return that PCI vidcard.

Sorry about the ikky colors on the page,I used a pre-existing page to save time.
The guy who e-mailed me said his is working with Quake 3 areana but having trouble with Call of Duty.
If anyone see's anything I missed, or has other questions I'll check back here periodically and add to the page or answer accordingly.
later

I just checked the site..
Does the font seem too dark to the rest of you?
seemed easy to read to me.
Should I change the colors?

The fonts are fine and so is the info.
Thanks Jeff!

I had to select the text to highlight it so it would be easier to read, but as long as everyone else is happy, that's fine with me.
I tried looking at the page in IE 6 and in Mozilla 1.7.3, which is what I usually use, just to make sure it wasn't a problem with the page in Mozilla, but the font is just as dark in both browsers.

jeff, the PCI 5200 turned up today. From left to right, they are organised as Monitors 3, 1 & 2 respectively. 3 on the PCI, 1 & 2 on the GF4400.
I got Doom 3 initially running on all 3, but when I cut all 3 monitors from 1280x1024 to 800x600 to match the game - 3 didn't work.
I'm curious as to how your 3 are connected.
Windows etc works fine. I'm using 66.81s Dual View on 1 & 2, nView is blanked out on 5200...

Damn - I get the gret screen on the PCI driven monitor regardles whether screen 1 or 2 is connected to it. Tempted to re-install graphics drivers. Irritating thing it that i worked first time apart from all 3 monitors being at 1280 & game at 800...

Oh, switching primary grapics between AGP & PCI in bios doesn't help. The window that Doom 3 appears in is grey on the PCI monitor regardless...

Sorry, spelling errors corrected.
As for "tempted to re-install drivers"
What version of drivers?
I got a gray screen on one monitor when I updated drivers from the original drivers that came with my fx 5200 card. so I went back to the 4.4.03 drivers and everything worked fine again.
As I stated on the page, I believe drivers are probably most peoples problem. I would focus on trying older versions.
I would make 4.4.03 available for download but I dont know how.
My 2 cents.....

44.0.3 is available right in the NVidia web site driver archive.
