1. How important is data protection in your case? What kind of HD's are you thinking of using? I have two WD Raptor's in a RAID 0 config, can't speak for performance in SH3, but when I set it up for BF2, load time for maps were reduced from about 90 seconds to about 20.. major major improvement.

- Does that actually work? I found that with full screen programs/games, one screen goes blank and I can't access the desktop anymore unless I alt-tab outta the game or something.. that's the only reason I wanted dual monitor setup.. blergh!
3. No idea.. see the other responses.. :p (SLI FTW!.. I need another graphics card though..
