16x10 with 16x9 in a 2d Surround Setup?
So I'm in the last stages of my build and I'm down to the monitors. I had 2 Samsung Snycmasters 226bw 22" 1680x1050 and intended on just getting at third for 2d surround until I cam across a deal on a Samsung 2333sw which is a 23" 1920x1080 panel. I have it hooked up right now next to one of my 16x10 and it looks alright but no matter how hard I mess with the settings I just can't get it calibrated to match the 16x10.

Do you guys recommend me trying to stick with this setup or selling the 2 16x10's and going with 2 more 16x9's? Does 1920x1080 make that much of a difference when compared to 1680x1050? And I guess most importantly, will 2 gtx 275's be enough to push 1920x3 or 5760?

Thanks Guys!!!
