About Dual Displays.

[sparkle]

Ok, I am probably going to buy a dual VGA video card, since the Visiontek geforece 4 440MX is a good cost. But i have a question regarding dual displays.

I understand the video card divides the screen resolution between the 2 monitors. But what do I do If I only want to use 1 monitor?

For example, I will use dual display for video editing, and photoshop, and the like. But what if I want to game on just my main 19' trinitron? Will I manually have to reset the resoluton?

Thanks.

Nah, most games, will automatically black out your second monitor and display the game on only your main monitor. Haven't really seen a game yet that takes advantage of both monitors...

being able to use two monitors for games would be cool though.



but then again, most dual monitor cards aren't that good at games... so eitherway...

it doesn't seem too practical.... not just yet.
