If you already have two videocards connected to >3 monitors, and you don't have SLI, what are the benefits of using a TripleHead2Go -- does it simply make it easier to set up 3 monitors in games when Windows considers them one monitor instead of 3?

I had such a setup before I got the TH2Go, although with a 6600GT. The difference is like day and night using the TH2Go, full screen gaming was impossible before, games stuttered with 0.5 to 1 fps... also Google Earth.

Video memory size and lots of system RAM is also important from my experience. Why I run Google Earth for some time, it eats up all my 2GB DDR2 and fills the swap file with another 2GB ...
