ok i have a GF2 GTS plugged into a 21". My old 17" is sitting around doing essentially nothing, so i'm thinking i should buy another PCI video card and use win XP's dual display mode. I know that windows won't match up very well if i try to span them across the monitors, but the 17" would be a good monitor for displaying my tv tuner window in without losing work space on my 21".
Questions:
1) Has anyone tried this? How well does it work?
2) I'm looking for a cheap, <$40 PCI card that will be used to power the second monitor. Any recommendations? I'm looking at something like a TnT2
3) Is there some limitation that says i have to run them both at the same resolution? Because there's no way my 17" will support 1600x1200. I figure as long as i dont span windows across the monitors, i should be ok, right?
