I am just wondering.. if I play game on my first screen and am NOT running anything on 2nd screen, will the game be running slower then it would if I didnt have it setup as dual monitor?

im running it on Ti4200 128mb with XP pro btw. :) I disabled nview, I dont think it does anything for me ( or does it? what positive things does it have?) .

Just run a time/fps demo of choice oe Futuremark w/both monitors installed and once w/out. That'll tell you.

It does matter whether your app/game is more gpu or cpu intensive however regarding the specifics that could be referenced toward performance.
