Got it figured out. It was a BIOS setting. It defaulted to disabling
the internal GPU if an external GPU was present. So I fixed that and
now all 3 monitors should work soon. The Nvidia config manager sees
the two GPU's. I just have to tinker around with an x restart and fix
my xorg.conf.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the help.<br>

I used the nvidia configurator, and am running two nvidia cards, and right
now, 3 monitors. My config looks like:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@crested) Sun Feb 1 20:25:37 UTC 2009
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
