I think that one cards acts as the master card and you will plug in teh monitor to that one. Not totally sure about it though.

ya i found out by reading an article u plug the monitor into the master card and the bridge adapter connect and send data over to the master card

You can plug the monitor into any card. You can even go 4 monitors if you want.

Theres a bridge that you use to connect them both one card does the top half one card does the bottom half of the screen it pretty much doubles performance

current SLI does not have a huge performance benefit for current games, but upcoming ones will most likely see a huge benefit, especially with all that AA and AF

Anyway, only CROSSFIRE has master and slave cards. SLi does not, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

u make a good point that it dosent have much of a preformance boost right now but like u said it will allow u to play with high AA and AF also high resolution with high fps

You can not run Multiple monitors with SLI enabled (which really sucks). One monitor is not a problem, just plug it into the first card.
