Multiple displays
Hai all,
I just got my new 22" monitor today (very chuffed ) and I wanted to put the other one to use... But I wanted to know if it was possible to set up my monitors so that I can do one thing on one screen then move to the other screen and do something else. So far with the nVidia control panel all I've been able to do is split it so that they have half an image each, or they both do exactly the same thing. Any halp?
Thanks in advance

Just start the nvidia control pannel and run the multiple display setup wizard.
w/ just the nVidia driver.
does windows identify them as two discrete displays?
under the nVidia control panel there is an option for "Dual view" where each displayed is configured independently from the other. it can be annoying to get this option to appear as sometimes it gets hidden due to current video settings...
this assumes that the cards are dual dvi/vga.
Most games support windowed mode, it's just a command line switch.
In order to multi-task while gaming, etc I just have two computers and a KVM switch, but don't use the Video portion of it. I have 2 monitors on one PC and 1 monitor on the secondary PC. Press "Scroll Lock" twice and I'm over on the third monitor (second PC). The second PC runs things like mIRC, torrents, allows me to surf the web while gaming without alt-tabbing ... you get the idea.
I thought that was "Don't leave the porn out"?
