Hi all, I havn't posted on this board for a while now but now I'm back
Anywhoo... down to business...
I have a WinFast 7800GTX 256. I have two monitor outputs on the card and I have a vague memory of a multidesktop feature that comes with the card's bundled software.
My question is this... is it possible to run, for example, a DVD and have that sent through one of the monitor outputs to a T.V while performing another task such as browsing the net and having that shown on my flat screen monitor? In other words - can I "multitask" the monitor outputs so that the dvd will play on the tv but won't appear on the monitor i'd be using for another task...?
My reason for asking is I'm going to university in September and I want to get the most out of my rig. If I can get this to work it will also mean I won;t have the extra DVD player in my dorm room, therefore less plugs, leads etc - and one less item to clean!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
