Because he's using nVidia Stereo Surround and it's considered one monitor.

*takes notes*
Another reason to add to the list why Eyefinity (currently) work better. Is there a reason you wrote "Stereo" Surround? Is that a different mode, or is it its proper name?
Also, question. Your Samsung Spinpoint in your sig; I don't recognise the MP4 branding, so I'm guessing laptop/2.5"?
Most likely me getting that and the 3D tech names confused, since 3D uses Stereoscpic glasses or something. Just saw it called that once and it stuck. Think the actual name is Vision surround or something.
And yes, laptop. Because the other 3 drives in the system are all 2.5" it made it easier, and it's just a scratch drive anyways.

Eyefinity is better software side, because you can easily hotkey between a single spanned display or 3 extended desktops, but hardware wise, Nvidia Surround is better, you are for the most part stuck with one big display for windows, but games that don't support spanning will default to a single screen, and the SLI requirement keeps you from having an awesome display at 10fps
edit, also, Nvidia works with 3 DVI monitors, i did the same thing everyone else did with my Eyefinity, that is, i got home from microcenter with two extra monitors full of excitement, and then after an hour of trying to get the thing to work, finding out that i need something called an active displayport adapter, and that it was another $100
oh, and when i found this out, there was nothing about it on the ATi website, i found out about the adapter through one of swifty's youtube videos

That, and initially there was only one way to get Eyefinity and Crossfire working together was to use a 5970. That's been fixed of course, but it was a killer for some.

I'm thinking either a 120Hz monitor (most likely adding a second GTX 580 for SLI so I can actually play at 120FPS)
...or (most likely, because that first option is expensive as hell), getting a Corsair H100 when/if they ever come out (depending on how reviews put them cooling wise) Possibly with a Fractal Define R3 thrown in with either option (because I'm starting to think my case lets too much noise out)
