Default 9800GX2 Internal SLI

I just want to confirm that a 9800GX2 will be using both of its cores when in the duel monitor configuration mode.

I dunno... a thought that it may not be just crossed my mind as I was humming in the shower.

The fact that there are two GPUs on one PCB has nothing to do with dual monitors and it does not have "two cores".

The 9800GX2 is not a good buy anymore, usage of its maximum potential really has to do more with what resolution you are at, what drivers you're running, and what games you play.
