SLI config with two screens

Hi basically i need confirmation of whether my plan is feasible.

Basically right now im running one card into two screens for windows but when i game i have configured it to turn off one screen and put all power into driving one screen.

I know want to up my spec and here is my plan.

By i secong identical card and SLI them together. Plug each screen into each card and for windows use disable SLI with the nVidia controller. This way each card drives each screen.

Then when i want to game i enable SLI and this should ignore one of the screens and drive the main screen off both cards since SLI only supports one output.

I believe this should work but would love some confirmation before i blow cash on the second card.

Cheers

Dont worry you wont blow up anything, The way u want to do it it will work, if u want to game with 3 screens tho u will lose all the sli benefits bcos u got sli enabled.

Or you get SLI, and use it to drive three screens with a TripleHead2Go (which appears to the OS as a single screen and thus works well within the constraints of SLI's multimonitor use).
