Thinking about getting into an eyefinity setup but just wanted some advice as to whether or not it would be viable based on my systems specs.
I have access to 3 1600x900 monitors and want to know if it is worth my time and money to grab them before they are gone.
AMD Athlon X3 445 @3100mhz
Gigabyte Radeon 6850 1gb
4gb Mushkin Silverline DDR2 800mhz
These are the monitors I had in mind.

Obviously I am on a budget but willing to upgrade but won't be disappointed if I can play games in less than ultra settings.
Asking for advice instead of just diving in.
These Monitors have DVI
These Monitors have DVI input. No displayport. So to run Eyefinity you will need to use at least one active adapter. I think two. MiniDP->DVI and HDMI ->DVI (Or does the 6850 have 2 DVI ports? (p.s 2x dvi +hdmi DOESNT work, 2x dvi +dp does!)
About the performance... 4800x900 sure is much for a 6850 and you only have 1gb Vram.
Send me a PM as reminder and i will post a Tool which allows you to run 4800x900 resolution on a Single Monitor! Then you can try it out how well it performs.
If the Monitor itself is good quality... No idea!
