Hey. i have 2 19" wide screen LCD's. I have it stretched in windows, but how would i stretch the monitors in games?

Depends on the game. Some games will allow you to use dual monitors, while others cant support that high of a resolution, so it can only be displayed on one monitor.

i wouldn't suggest dual monitor for gaming unless there is less that a mm between the pixel of the two screen because the crosshair would be in the gap otherwise

ya, i've seen 3 monitors used before, which was pretty cool

but two monitors would create some weird problems as mentioned above

I second staying away from dual monitor gaming. I have tried it in the past, and many problems do arise, unless it is done properly as heyman says, with 3 monitors. That way the crosshair would not be cut off.
