Re: Dual monitor question?
[ QUOTE ]
1 thing I don't get is why the windows toolbar isn't the whole way along ? [/ QUOTE ] Not sure why. The buttons would be odd to use when one side is on the left and one side on the right. It can be moved to the other screen, but I don't know of a way to have it span both.

Re: Dual monitor question?
Any of the ATI monitors that support Hydravision and have two outputs can do that. I have 9800 XT where one is monitor is LCD and the other is CRT running at different rerfresh rates. Pretty good game card too.

Mine is a Matrox 350 and the task bar on my monitors extends across both screens as a contiuous bar.

Re: Dual monitor question?
that's interesting that they actually have set-ups so that the bar goes the whole way across....i think that would be kind of weird but i guess i'm just used to the one-screen task-bar.
i was going to buy a video-card for my laptop....then i discovered it already had duel-monitor capability. it completely rocks. it is very very easy to move the cursor from one monitor to the other. i have my 15.4" laptop screen set at 1400x1000 and my cheap used 17" monitor-screen at 1200x900 (or whatever it is). 4 tables on the laptop screen...... 2+2 and p-tracker and other miscellaneous stuff on the big screen. playing 8 tables is fairly routine when i want to go that route. or i'll have 4 table on one screen....and maybe a cheap or freeroll MTT or two on the other. awesome stuff....and i dont even have a decent monitor. it will really rock when i splurge for a bigger flat-screen 1900x1400 res monster
