<br>buddy before you grab a specific card! I believe it was one of the 6800's I<br>heard didn't support TwinView yet.<br><br>Actually, in ATI's defense, I've helped setup dual head on an ATI and it<br>wasn't bad; they actually have an amazing script for it. It's getting
<br>everything else to work with ATI that's hard.<br><br>On Monday 06 February 2006 10:59, Dave J. Hala Jr. wrote:<br>> For me, its not about movies and gaming -for that I use XP on a<br>> widescreen Inspiron (ya,ya I know). But if I had a 20in or 24 inch, I
