No I believe you cannot run 3 monitors with sli. Without sli then, yes. Or you could just get a 5870 which supports 3monitors via 2 dvi and 1 displayport.

Well I got another 9600GT for free so I decided to put it in my new system (i5-750, GA-P55M-UD4 only 2G of ram though ).
Don't have any pictures but I took a screenie to prove it.

I can't say that i agree. I went from 32 fps on very high, 1080p in crysis with one gtx 275 to over 60 with two in sli.. I have a mininum of 90% fps increase in my games, depending on patch/drivers.

Hehe, i forgot to resize
I get more fps overclocked, but i think the stock settings is a good way to compare.. Two 285's in sli should get much better results. Also, 480 is said to scale better.
I think the coding in heaven is really good. This is only version 1.0. Whats better in version 2.0?

Im really wanting to get into Crossfire, to be doing it for the first time I want to match the card I got with the exact same, which so far has been a dead end (its unavalible ever place I look) my luck if I change brand names I will have issues. Anybody got a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...56&cm_re=GV-R487D5-1GD-_-14-125-256-_-Product or have any ideas were I can get one?

you don't need to get the EXACT same one (brand), just an hd 4870 (or possibly an hd 4850 or hd 4890).
Yeah as far as im aware it can be any brand/make...not sure if memory size on the cards matter? eg...512mb and say a 1gb together.
I would try and stick with the same card/brand though just to prevent any problems.
