    Rural Internet Service

    My boss likes to work from home because it's about a 2hr commute to the office in DC from his home. Unfortunately his satellite internet service is just too slow and unreliable.

With my previous ATI cards, there was an option in CCC that allowed overlay video to be displayed on both displays instead of only on the primary display.
