Am I getting a hit in performance with 2nd monitor


Hi,
I recently got a Samsung 22" touch of color to replace my 19 inch westinghouse. I want to use the westy now to monitor my system during gameplay. Will I get a performance hit if I'm just in 2-D mode in one monitor, and the 22" in 3-d mode.

On board video? I havn't had that sience my old m-ATX 939 board. I wonder If I should pick up a cheap PCI-E card and use that.
