So that's Eyefinity, right--up to 6monitors? Extended desktop (like my boss) is basically the same (but with 2monitors max?), right? Or is there no max w/ Extended, and there's something else to Eyefinity that I don't know about?

Please advise.

No. They are different.
Extended = extra space (extra screen real estate), each monitor is a seperate "monitor"
Eyefinity = extra resolution, each monitor is a part of the whole "monitor"

With my eyefinity my 3 screens act as one... so I have 5750x1200 resolution. Looks awesome in battlefield BC2... That being said, when you have a 6 screen display the crosshairs are on the bezel... and kind sucks but its still awesome.

All I do is plug my screen in via the vga port, right click on the desktop then screen resolution, and under the multiple displays tab I usually select extend these displays. Its very useful for studying

I'll try post some more pics when I got some spare time

This is totally something I can make a use of, since I have a leftover tv that can take vga. It's an old flat screen tv that's really blurry if I plug in vga, but I guess I can use it for viewing a video/movie, while the regular R3 screen is playing SC2, right? Or is this not possible, and extended/eyefinity is only limited to 1 "desktop display"/1 window at a time?

That's like driving with a hockey goalie mask on lol. Looks amazing though!

Yeh that should work, game on one screen, movie on an other. I tried it just then with ut2004, its a bit of mucking around because the movie pauses when you open the game up

Video here shows someone using 3 Dell monitors connected to his M17X R2, using Eyefinity:

The monitors can be both Vertical or Horizontal, nice feature. I'm picking up one for myself.
