Well, the good news is that these new 460 boards (GF104 based) have shown to be some of the coolest and lowest power contenders in their performance range, which is a big contrast to the previous three 4xx cards (GF 100 based) which are known as hot, noisy monsters.

Each new batch of cards come with their own pluses and problems. You shouldn't make generalizations. If you're really worried about overheated cards, find an nVidia or ATI vendor that puts a better cooling system on the card and offers a lifetime warranty.

nVidia actually just came out with their eyefinity rival called nVidia Surround. It isn't as good as eyefinity though, since it only drives up to six monitors, and you'll need 2x cards in SLI. I'm also not sure if it can do different resolutions on different displays.

The one advantage it has is that it can do 3d on the displays if somehow have the cash to spend $200 on the glasses setup, and whatever it costs to get 3 identical versions of one of the supported 120hz monitors.

Voting for third parties can actually get their policies into play without them even needing to win. With most races being so tight, even the small percentage third parties gather can change the outcome. If a third party starts to draw votes, one of the two main parties will likely absorb some of the third party's policies in an effort to win back those lost voters. At that point, congratulations, you third part vote has helped influence the platform of a major party.

Is this ideal? No, not really. Actually having representatives you want voted into office would be much better. But voting for third parties is a way of expressing dissatisfaction with both major parties and likely getting at least one of them to change.
