Sly_C Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 whats the point in having two monitors if you can't run seperate programs on either without having another computer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYoKoNA Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 no. You can't. When you play a game. it only shows it on one screen. You can't go to the other screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 then what is the point in having two monitors if u can't go onto the other screen? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 (edited) you can...in windows but not when your gaming. If you exit your game you can do several things in windows on multiple monitors. Like watch a movie on one, and scroll on the internet on the other etc. Edited October 12, 2003 by AYoKoNA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 I think bigred is running 3 - but yea - you could be playing the game in one monitor and in the other have the stragety guide. Or (thisis how I saw a friend do it) always ahve google open in the second monitor and if you need to search anything all you have to do is move the mouse to the other side.

stew Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 the number of PCI slots you have  you could in theory have a dual head VGA card in ever PCI slot and a dual headed AGP card but really i doubt anyone needs more than 4 montiors tops (mainly only someone like PIXAR or video editors woudl need 4 monitors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 If you have a 19" CRT monitor(what I prefer for this) just minimize a game and play it in a non full-screen mode then you will have access to other monitors while playing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
