    In a dual monitor config can you use 1 monitor to play a game and the other to browse the internet/office work?

    Correct me if I'm wrong , but to do this you have to be playing the game in windowed mode as full screen mode will take the cursor control away and if you click on your second monitor it will minimize the game.

    ? I always show quite a number of servers and have never had a problem finding non-infantry ones. I am actually quite amazed at how long the game is lasting. Still alot of fun.

    evga 8800 GTX KO Superclocked vs. Radeon HD 3870 X2

    I had 2 x 3870's in crossfire for awhile and while they would get more max fps than the card I have now, the min fps just ... well... sucked. I did an impulse buy and bought a 8800GTS 512 and am very glad I did. The gameplay is alot smoother, and as for the drivers, they seem fine to me. I...

    Install a case fan over the heatsink fan

    I actually did this exact thing with the 2900XT I had . I did it to help cool at idle as the fan would ramp up and down even at idle, but after I zip tied a fan over the intake fan it helped keep it cooler "at idle". Really didn't help that much at load.

    Help me decide.Crossfire "two" HD3870s or "ONE" HD3870x2

    My 2 cents. I also have 2x3870's in Crossfire and was excited about the X2. I have had the 2x3870's since they came out , and just now do I have Crossfire working with most my games. I really don't want to go through the trial and error of getting it to work with all my games again. I do...
