    You need to make sure your graphics card supports this.

    Not really, most games dont support it and when they do, the space between the monitors (often inches in total) only make it harder. Basically, you need to span the monitors, ie, stretch your desktop between the 2 and see if it works. I dont think you'll like it, dont know any gamers who do it.

    I thought he ment having some things on one screen and others on another. Didnt understand that he wanted to spread the game across it. Also i thinkt there are certain monitors that are ment for doing this but i doubt you would want to go out and spend the money for somthing like that

    There are monitors that are up to five across, designed for splitting screens, but the expense is prohibitive. The only game I know of that will support it, is the upcoming Supreme Commander.
