i want another screen (wither 24 or 22 inch wide) to go with my hanns-g 19 inch wide and i wondered how it goes as far as gaming is concerned.

say im on bf2 on one screen will the mouse still move over to the other screen when i go far right?(assuming the bigger gaming screen is on the left and the smaller one on the right). can i have, say itunes on one screen while gaming on the other without the mouse moving across screens, as this would be very annoying in wow as its a clicky game.

do you all here recommend dual screens?

thanks

his 8600gt is really crap his hard drives are mounted to close together and hes put way to much thermal paste on the cpu i dont think he has much of a clue what hes doing :p
 
No it won't shoot off the screen, generally you'll have problems with RTS in that department, i usually disable my 2nd screen when i play RTS otherwise i end up clicking on the other screen by accident and it minimizes the game... :(

FPS games have a fixed position for the mose, so no problems there... it can happen when you're in the menus though.. basically any game or menu area where you have a mouse pointer just be careful not to click on the other screen, or you'll minimize the game.
