I am currently running a 19" Viewsonic A91f+ CRT on my 9800 pro at 1280x1024 res. I have a 15" Viewsonic VG150B LCD sitting around not in use. It was my old monitor but I now use the 19" CRT for gaming. Would it be possible to add in a 9200 or something to my comp and run the LCD at 1024x768 off the 9200? I could possibly run a game in one window on the CRT and operate AIM and other programs on the LCD without having to ALT+TAB from my games all the time...
 
I can't run the game in a window and have it on one display and have AIM working on the other? Is it that I can see the desktop on the other window, just can't do stuff on it? In that case it might be worth it so I could see what people have said before I ALT+TAB.
 
most of what ive heard from running dual and gaming is that the 2nd monitor turns off while gaming. i believe it depends on application you use game etc though
 
in my case the second monitor i usually have my aim window docked. i can still see what people type to me, but most games fully lock the primary monitor for their use.
 
Yeah, I keep motherboard monitor and task manager in my second monitor while gaming.
 
i keep chat windows in the other one also, tho when i play axis & allies and command & conquer generals ZH or just about any other RTS i have to disable the second monitor
