one question - how does the pinball software support 3 monitors?!

i've seen graphics cards with 2 monitor support for shared windows desktop but how to support 3?

You will need two graphic cards preferably Nvidia instead of ATI cause lots of problems getting it to work properly with Visual Pinball.  You should check my pinball build as in my first few posts I go into pretty good detail of how to setup the software.

Sorry, been away for a bit. Thanks!
And yeah, I purchased a few mercury level switches for nudging, but have yet to install them. I'll post when I do.

I have one high end video card (nvidia 260 GTX) for the backglass and playfield and USB video for the DMD.  Works great!

doesn't using usb video introduce additional cpu/memory overhead?

maybe it is not significant as DMD are pretty simple static images?

Possibly, but I dont see any issues with it...  I would not do a backglass.
