2x GTX 460 How many monitors max, SLI or non-SLI?
So, I'm planning on grabbing two GTX 460s for multi monitor support, and am wondering what the absolute maximum number of monitors I can use are, for basic usage like web browsers, videos, other 2D stuff. So far as I understand from the main site, should I SLI them, I can use two monitors max? Even though it supports 3D vision, can I not use 3 monitors for 2D use? And would it be possible to not have them SLI'd, and run two monitors off each? Any detailed information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

In SLI: 3 screens spanned in nVidia Surround. This works in 3D vision as well as for normal desktop use. Windows maximize across all screens.
Non-SLI: 4 Independent screens. Windows maximize across 1 screen.
