got second monitor - question...

[legoalex2000]

after a couple half an hour of moving all my stuff over, i managed to play FS9 with my TV (S-vid) and used my monitor for GPS and other utilities.

then my mom came home and she was pissed. she said that she thought it was a big waste of time, time which i could use for scholarships.

i devote enough time to that, and by pure chance one of my friends (he's a BIG BIG mac freak (he's got a 19" macbook pro on his way already))

so he had a monitor which he sold to me for $25. what a bargain! it's a 15" CRT, thats all i need. now it doesen't compliment my black 17" and my case, but this is for the game, not the look.

i have a slight feeling my mom will be even madder, but oh well, i have a second monitor!

cool.... i got myself a secong monitor too... also a 15" CRT...

my mom also thinks it's way too much for a single computer, but i cant help it, i really love that extended desktop...

how cool is it to have your mouse cursor go over the edge of one monitor and into the other

cheers

yep, im used to it now, like SimV is permamently on my second screen

but now arises a question....

i have a second graphics card, a Radeon 7000 (PCI). now if i were to install that for the second monitor, will performance be better, same, or worse than having both monitors hooked into my X3100?
