Hey,
im just wondering if using Dual Monitors takes a lot of usage from you GPU and will slow certain things down. Id of course still only be using one for gaming and the other the browsing etc

My GPU is a Gefore 2250 GTS, screen 23" & im not 100% sure on my other must be around 17-18"

Hi there,

Is that a GTS 250?

In my experience, running a modern graphics card (like a 9800GTX/GTS 250) with two monitors doesn't incur much of a performance penalty - so long as you aren't gaming using both the screens.

Should be fine.

You may find performance increases/decreases with different resolutions though.
