I want to output the same desktop to 2 different monitors at different resolutions. I have tried UltraMon, but this doesn't seem to work correctly for MCE.

On a SLI motherboard, can I use 2 PCI-E graphics cards in a non-SLI configuration?

Yes you can with ease, but never realised this didnt work with windows itself (without ultramon)

edit.... come to think of it I guess as its a mirror desktop one change would be replicated on both simultaneously so yeah I can understand you having problems, not entirely sure two cards would work as they would automatically produce seperate desktops .....i think

I am trying to output MCE onto 2 TVs. Unfortunately one is a CRT and the other is a HD panel, hence the different resolutions.

I just don't want to buy another graphics card without knowing whether it will work or not.

I run MCE on a LCD and a TV using the clone option. You can set whatever res you like on either.

The LCD runs from the DVI slot, and the TV runs from the TV-out. Its connected to a video sender that transmits to a portable tv in the bedroom.

Everything works really well. Thsi is using a Nvidia 6200.
