I am going to get a 19/20/20.1' (haven't decided, you can comment on this too)
and my vid card is in the sig. I know I might have to turn down some stuff on the 20 inchers, but should I throw in a pci card for the 17' lcd I have right now? It's going to be doing mostly Trillian and Itunes, and maybe playing movies on the side if I'm doing work. I was hoping to take off some of the work on the x850xt when I'm gaming...or in general. Maybe even a cheapo pci-express card. All Ati of course.

That's a good question I've been wondering myself. Does running a 2D desktop off a single card on a second monitor have a significant performance impact?
