Default Triple Monitors display for SLI

I have been searching all over the place for this but I cannot find the answer. Hopefully one of you guys out there have the time and the proper equipments to try this out and tell me, or the knowledge.

Here are two scenarios:

I have an SLI computer and I want to run triple monitors on it. I know that you cannot run it with SLI enabled. The only way you can do it is to disable SLI. However, according to the website, it said that with the new drivers, you can not switch back and fourth between enabled SLI and disabled SLI without restart your computer. Unfortunately, that is not the case for me. I can disable SLI without rebooting but when I enabled it I was forced to reboot. If anyone out there that can help me with this, it would be great! This is the version that I downloaded (the latest I believe): (((162.18_forceware_winxp_32bit_english_whql)))

I also know that you can run dual-monitors by "cheating" it by using a PCI card. However, I tried looking everywhere for a PCI card that can support two monitors at once and I cannot find anything. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Just a side note, I was inspired by this:

Hope that link answer some of your questions on "why do you need three monitors for?"

Thanks a lot in advance!!!!

you dont need to restart with sli or crossfire. unless you're using onboard sound with sli or crossfire you're left with one pci slot left depending on the mobo so adding a third card will turn your case into a oven.
