Here's a question... when you're running games on the primary monitor.. what does the secondary one do? sit there in windows?

actualy while im playing source or dark crusade, my misses is watching digital tv on the other (i have 2 sound cards - one for game one for DTV) she can watch what she wants AND i can game, perfect.... + i dont have to wait 25 mins for my conroe 2.9 to encode dvd's stright off the HDD (lol 25mins ***)

Infact actualy was that an anti-dual-widescreen-19" comment? thats a condition you know... you should get it checked out

with two matrox triplehead's you could effectively have 6 monitors running from one dual head card (I am guessing its some kind of virtualisation technique in the tripleheads)

However as stated above there are limitations at the moment like the 60Hz refresh, i think relatively limited resolutions (when you consider the amount of screens you have to cover) and they only seemingly work on nvidia cards atm

60hz is fine tho my 19" cant do more then 60hz @ 1440x900 :S are they crap?

I believe if you set your screenmode to stretched you could get all apps and possibly games to run across both, but they would probably be stretched.

This is true altho with just 2 screens pretty much every FPS and RPG is out the window, the bar in the middle is kinda anoying, but there is hope RTS's (Aoe3 AoM rome/medevil/Total war2 and GTR2 are really good!
