That is twice as cool as 2 Dual link DVI does not support running 2 monitors off 1 port, but allows for twice the resolution.
So you still only get 2 monitors.

Hmm... What am I thinking of then... At work there is only one DVI port on the back of the workstation, but with a splitter, two monitors are available for use... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Pugh Technologies OS W7 Professional x64 CPU AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.10 GHz Motherboard MSI 870A-G54 Memory PNY XLR DDR3 1600 4x2GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 (fermi) 1GB GDDR5 Sound Card Realtek ALC892 onboard Monitor(s) Displays ASUS VE205t, Viewsonic VX2035WM Screen Resolution 1600x900, 1600x1050 Keyboard Logitec 55 Mouse Razer Deathadder PSU Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Case ThermalTake Armor A90 Mid Tower Cooling 3x 120mm in, 1x 120mm & 200mm out, self built hydro-cooler Hard Drives 977GB Hitachi Hitachi HDS721010CLA332

I will have to try it at some point.
If you notice though, the one connected to the computer is NOT a standard DVI port.
