Hey guys :)

I did a search but didn't come up with anything so I figured I'd ask..

I currently have a Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256 and I use that with a single monitor (1440x900).

I want to get another monitor later today and I want to know if it will be possible to set them to horizontal span (wont be using dual view).

The reason I ask is because I do not see the option in the control center. Once I add another monitor will the option appear? I'd like to know before purchasing. Would really appreciate it if someone could help. :)

I'm going to be running multiple copies of WOW and I was told that dual view will cut my fps in half.

Thanks

- Andrew

P.S. - I'm assuming the monitor I purchase has to be the same resolution as my current one. Am I right?

YES"!" but get 512mb version for that or you'll regret it.
You can see that I have 2 very dif. monitors in size and capability. You can even use a TV or any other device, w/proper adapters. (svid-rca is awesome) Ancient TVs w/ancient VCRs as second mon. is pos.
Dual view will not cut your frames in half.
W/256mb you'll be sad.
