you can run multiple monitors at different resolutions at the same time. I have a dual monitor setup on my main computer, and sometimes do this. If your going with dual/multiple monitors, I'd really highly suggest you grab a copy of UltraMon. It is the BEST (IMHO) multi-monitor program around. It lets you create taskbars, disable monitors, set seperate wallpapers, etc etc. Give it a shot. |

having more monitor space is pretty pointless unless you need it for a reason of doing say graphics, 3d work or editing. Havent you learned out geeking someone isnt done through how many monitors but how much hard drive space you have :D |
| Jakobud:
Hmm I didn't know you could do this. Can you expand your desktop to all of these monitors that are coming from your PCI slots? Or are they just clones? |
| Witchboard:
Yes, your desktop is expanded into the other monitors. You can set them up side by side or one on top of the other. The choice is yours. |
| pointdablame:
Correct, you can expand or clone/mirror whichever monitors you'd like. UltraMon does this very easily. Windows can also do it to a slightly lesser degree from within Display Settings. And I'm gonna take a guess and say that 8bit has never used a multi-monitor setup. Believe me, when you use a multiple monitor setup, you won't want to go back. For everyday use, there are tons of reasons for two monitors. I can also see myself using three for use with photoshop, frontpage, etc. While I will agree that 4+ monitors may not be worth it unless you have a real reason for it, don't knock multiple displays. They are absoultely great, and once you get used to them, you won't ever want to use a single display again. |
