Werd up!!! You running DualHead, TwinView or just two video cards?

 

[Mday]

i just use 2 video cards.

2 video cards -
geforce 2 mx
matrox millenium

and i *do* own the cd of the mp3s that are playing in winamp there

 

[ZeroBurn]

i did this before myself, until i ended up selling one of them to my aunt

doh !

So which method will give the best results for increasing the size of the desktop?

Upgrade my 17" to a 19", or get another 17" ?

Dual monitor is nice b/c of its wide aspect resolution. But it's not good as far as space is concerned.

 

[ZeroBurn]

depends what your uses are going to be. dual monitors will give you more desktop space, but a larger monitor would be better for games, movies, etc

 

[Nutcase99]

cool! I gotta try it out on my system does it work if I use a 17" and a 19"?

 

[ZeroBurn]

yep, different sized monitors work fine.

my first attempt was actually using my 17" and a spare 14" i had in the closet

 

[ETLA]

haha.I have 3 monitors as we speak here....3 19" monitors....I am running G450Max and a PCI....but thinking of getting rid of one monitor cuz it's too addicting...I sit on my ass all day long...

 

[Gorgonzola]

i gotta try that

btw, you need to get yourself a wallpaper that tiles. either that or a really wide one

 

[Raspewtin]

Two monitors are addicting. A couple more monitors, ETLA, and your computer room can look like a NASA computer station.

Had 5 @ one time plus a 32" TV

I'm using a 17" and a 15"
Its a little disorienting because the right half of the screenshot (15&quot is physically to the left of the 17".
I've gotten used to it now.

 

[ZeroBurn]

yea i really didn't like that disorienting feel when i had my 17" and 14". although it was very convient to stick stuff like winamp, icq, email, etc on the 14" while i did my real stuff on my 17"

 

[shawnmos]

I got a 17" and a 15" monitor. I always stick IE on my 17" and Outlook Express on my 15". It's cool cause I know when someone responded to one of my messages (plus it makes that sound) on AT. It really sucks when I use my dads computer cause it only has one monitor. I am spoiled now!!

If you are cheap, then you can try those Virtual monitor things. Linux have this feature... and I know some programs do the same thing for windows, but I forgot the name. Hell, I don't even know the name for these things.

I have a G400 single head, dual head was too expencive at the time. 2 bad...

did you have fun with gaussian blur in photoshop censoring your dirty e-mails?

j/k, as always

 

[ZeroBurn]

it's called LiteStep, and is an Enlightment shell for Win32, as opposed to the standard Explorer.exe shell. it's pain to setup and takes a while usually, but once you get the hang of it, it's _much_ better then Explorer IMHO. also it's getting much more support (even winamp has setting specific to) and has 4 Virtual desktops, very cool.

you can find it here at litestep.org

Wedesdo -
actually, its the "blur more" feature
and my emails arent dirty!

 

[MillionaireNextDoor]

whoa! i love the panorama view.. it's so cool i might consider getting a video card that supports that
