I use PC's for a desktop and MacPRO for a notebook. I am planing to switch my desktop to to iMac but i use doal monitors and someone told me i should buy 2 iMacs and connect them rather than one and a seperate monitor. What is the best way t go not considering the cost?
Current iMacs can have external displays easily connected. You do NOT need 2 iMacs, you can use your old PC's displays if you want. You will need a connector similar to:

and to connect the iMac (or MBP) to the external display follow Apple's instructions as described in How to use multiple displays with your Mac
Can an iMac be connected to 3 monitors?
Yes but then you will need to get Thunderbolt displays. The reason you need Thunderbolt displays is because you can daisy chain them, on PC displays they do not have this ability. You can refurbishedThunderbolt displays from Apple at:

Refurbished are identical to new and also come with the same warranty as a new display. BTW, I am writing this from my refurbished iMac which has operated perfectly for the past year. Refurbs are also eligibile for AppleCare/
do you know for a fact that it works with 3 monitors?
because very few video cards support more then 2
If you don't believe me then call Apple or even better go to an Apple Store and ask.
Thanks Kauf,
You have been helpfull.
