Hey Deathstar
I been curious about duel monitors !!!
How do you access each one's program do you use 2 mice or a hot button to switch the mouse from one to the other?
I hope you understand what I mean!
i think i do.
there are several ways of doing this.ill just explain mine as its all i know.
ive done this with 1 agp card and 1 pci card together or
on my 9700np i have 2 outputs.
in the display properties i set mine as attached.and what i get is 2 copys of my wallpaper.BUT its 2 seperate screens.
i have my taskbar on my main and my mouse just floats over to the second one like there is no boundry between the 2 monitors.
so basically i can move the mouse as if the 2 moniters were connected seamlessly.
im not able to make a game play accros the 2 tho.one does the game the other does my mbm.but when a game is running i think you need to hit pause or the windows key to let the game know it doesnt have proirity and then the second monitor is accessable again.
i really really like it.some non pc people might think its nutz but once you do it and use a dual monitor setup youll see why its so nice.and no performance loss either. mabey 200points if that when i tested it.thats a normal fluctuation also as why i say none i see.
thats with my 9700np running both crt's
i can use my ati7000 32mb ddr pci card on the secondary but my rage3d tweaker sees that instead of my 9700np so i went this route.
to sum it up and hopefully i didnt confuse you even more is its one big wide screen,but its devided only by the applications liking one screen at a time.but you can put anything where you want,on either screen. but you get 2X the real estate.
just for fun i was able to stretch this ie window over both screens lol
kinda kool but useless none the less.might be kool with a pychodelic screen saver tho.
"edit" just for fun i found a few bikini pics with my opera browser.
adjusted the size to 300% and stretched it over both monitors. lol
really big pic of a chick but is kinda odd looking in the middle where the monitors meet. again fun but useless.
