I just want to get a quick scope from people who do this.. on how to. I have a 9800pro > XT that i dont feel like upgrading for a while. its perfectly good for everything in do *runs a little slow in nfsu2 in 1280x1024... oh no* but it only has outputs for two displays.
I have two Samsung 712N displays on my desk right now, and as awsome as it is to have this much desktop space... its contagious and addictive. all my friends are getting the multi display thing going for them, but im finding that even with 2580x1024 desktop realestate, i want more. and im not sure how to go about it.
So, if i went and added a pci video card, im curious as to how it would work under win2k to designate an additional one or two monitors. does it appaear in the monitor properties and on the dropdown box that tells you whats connected to what? Additionally, how are these additional displays dealt with? are they fully accellerated secondaries? It would be awsome if i could play games on my secondary monitor. it will only let me do that on the primary =\
I wanted to ask this befor ebecuse im kind of unsure what dfi dual express technology really is... if its what i think it is, you can do the same thing on a pci bus pc with a second gpu ne?
bleh.. ust have more desktop space. i can just see my one year from now.. lazyboy in front of my desk.. which wouldnt even be a desk anymore. it would be a hold down for this huge bracket that has like 8 lcds bolted to it... yea... well. im messy when i get making stuff. music, web sites or art, i do it all at once, and all while sitting in prontera in ro ha ha.
