I'm about to go choose a dual monitor setup:

1) Is there any reason why I can't just walk out and buy the two TFT screens I like (a wide screen and a 'portrait' screen) and combine them?

Mainly wide screen would be for gaming, and portrait for browsing. I'd want the desktop stretching from one to the other (ie drag pointer, apps from one screen to the other)

2) Also do I need separate gfx cards for each monitor or can one cover both? any performance cost?

3) And can I have separate background images for each, seeing as they'll be different resolutions?
