Default Dual Monitors on SLI rig

I have 2 8800GTSs in SLI and am getting a new monitor this week and want to
run dual monitors, where do I plug it in i.e. on the other card or on the
same card. Thanks

If you're running SLI, you can't use the other monitor. You'd have to
disable the SLI for the second monitor to work.

I run two monitors, and disable the SLI while in Windows so I have a
bigger desktop. When gaming, though, I only can use 1 monitor.

I'm only running one 8800 GTS card, which has two digital monitor outputs.
The nVidia Control Panel sets them up so you can go back and forth between
single and dual monitors.

With SLI you can add another card and have four monitors. Better have a
1000 watt or more PSU, though. ...and a huge fan.
