Offically or can it be made to? My GT8800 has 2 outputs and I have a spare 19" widescreen, so im thinking I may put it to use.

Officially, no, however, you can use something like the dual-head-to-go or triple-head-to-go. Those pieces of hardware tell your graphics card that you have a very wide screen, which eve can pick up on, and will then allow you to pick the unusual resolution of (1280*3)x1024 or whatever your three moniters side-by-side represent.
*note* I have not personally done this but I've seen my house mate on his linux computer with eve at two moniters wide!

if you have two clients you can run them both in windows mode and move one to one moniter and the other to another.... i don't have two moniters sadly so i don't know how well it works

It works well.

Not directly from within the game.
However, you can just use NVidia's "expand desktop" options (latest drivers should allow for two modes of horizontal spanning).
I know this for a fact, because I *did* play EVE for a short while like that (but I had a 21" CRT normal aspect ratio and a 19" LCD wide aspect raio, so it looked really awkward/distorted to have EVE spanning both).

ATI also supports this function with catylist, though eve doesn't support 2 montitors it does support uber big resolution.

EVE works great on 2 displays if you use "Horizontal Spawn" in your nView settings (if you have an nVIDIA card). I've ran EVE on 2560x1024 (2x 1280x1024) without a problem. The only annoying think is the crappy EVE UI, which does not allow you to move the ship's center console, so it's split in half

Yes! With one desktop on two screens in widescreen mode and one game it results in a very weird 3D view though, like previous poster wrote.
If however you run multiple clients then it's awesome. When I only run two clients then I have one client on each screen in window mode. Even full screen on each screen is possible but then you encounter the very annoying DirectX feature which minimizes a full screen application which has lost focus... If someone can point me to a fix for that it would be awesome :)
So its definitely worth to hook up that extra screen :)

Just use any "window repositioning" application while running each copy of EVE at the same resolution as your monitors.
You get two EVE clients that LOOK like full-screen (well, almost) while still being window mode.

I have a dual 20" setup here and even though I don't usually play with EVE over two screens I'd thought I'd show you that it works at the very least.

Shoving the white one behind the black one just so that the black one's edge completely covers the white one's edge might be a good idea... less "tearing" in the middle that way.
