im in the middle of making a new tower from scratch, and i was wondering on get 2 more screens and having a 3 monitor set-up. i looked around and the only way i can think of doing this is to have two Geforce 6600 SLi cards so as to have 4 screen ports. (2 DVI 2 VGA). now i know youcan set SLi to work on there own or as one "Super card". so if i set them to work on there own will this mean i can run the 3 screens with ultramon?

There are lots of ways to get 3 monitors, and the way you describe (using 2 dual-out cards) is one of them. Though if you plan to play 3D games across 3 monitors, that is another issue, and there are lots of posts about that in these forums.

And, you don't need UltraMon to use 3 monitors. UltraMon doesn't create the ability to run multiple monitors. UltraMon adds features that make multi-monitors more useful, but Windows handles the multi-monitors itself.

sarge117, you can do that...but only after disabling SLI.

If you put the cards in SLi, is it still possible to use more than two monitors?
