Just ordered two Samsung 940BX 19" LCD's, and I want to run them in Portrait Mode for Photoshop use (or at least one in Portrait mode, as I work on a lot of Portrait format pictures).

Samsung provides their Magic Rotation software, which I don't fully understand. Does the software actually change the resolution output of the videocard?

I need to upgrade my videocard. I'm not a gamer, so don't need 3D performance, but good 2D performance for dual-screen 1280x1024 (I guess that makes it 2560x1024. Or if both are in portrait mode, does it become 2048x1280???

Thanks for anly advice!
