I was thinking of moving from my dual setup to a three moniter set up and i was wondering if Darkspace could be made to stretch between Three moniters??? I only ask cause darkspace would look really nice in a surround gaming setup.

You can Strech DS over multiple Monitors if you set it to windowed.
I've done for it a while but it didnt really work.
Using 3 monitors to see your Front, Left and Right at the same time would be really cool though

Ant, open up your system.ini file in your windows directory, press CTRL + A and press Delete and then click File and then click Save. Then open up DarkSpace's Setup Window and press ALT + F4 20 times as fast as you can. Then press Enter, and DarkSpace will function in Windowed mode.

The only graphic card with triple moniter support is the Matrox Parhelia http://www.matrox.com/mga/products/parhelia/128mb.cfm
But its not a very good game wise from what i understand. Another way, which im gonna do is you can have a dual head graphics card in your agp slot and then a pci graphics card in your pci slot.
