Right now I'm just using a screenshot I liked from when I was playtesting one of my MA arcs.

[/ QUOTE ] If you put in a second card, you end up with an SLI setup, which could make things worse. While I do use an 8800GT at home, my work computer is a Dell Latitude e5400 and that video card is pretty weak. (I think it's actually an onboard video card) I can still dual monitor at work though. |
As for adding 2nd card being worse that depends on several variables but generally speaking you will get the best bang for your buck by going with the fastest single card you can afford at the time. Where multiple cards in SLI or Crossfire (if you use ATi instead of Nvidia) come in handy is gaming at ultra high resolutions like 2560x1600... see pic of my gaming rig above.

Oh and welcome to the Art Boards Scootertwo.
I can never resist these desktop threads
Here's mine (Vista x64):
Turned off the secondary monitor for the resolutions aren't the same.
Here is a little something found in one of the darkest corners of the web for those who would like to customize their desktops more. I just couldn't stand the XP silver/blue look nor the lack of aforementioned customization options on Vista...
Here is my desktop.
I favour pink

Oh and I'm totally hung like a horse and stuffz.
I tend to use nature photos I've taken while hiking.
My current one was taken at Zion Nat'l Park.
Others I've used are also from Zion and Death Valley.

I really want to get another monitor but that would require me getting a bigger desk and leasing more space from the domestic partner...If she had her way the whole thing would be in the closet..
Just installed Windows 7 RTM, and showing some of the games I have installed.

Here is mine currently... I guess the witches of Croatoa were feeling especially thankfull that day
It changes periodically and randomly chooses from my CoH screencaps, also I made a shortcut that hides the icons until I need to click something then they appear again.
Took an external pic of it cuz otherwise I would have to shrink the image waaay down from 2560x1600 on my 30' widescreen.
The other 4 monitors in my gaming room/pc workshop vary from time to time also but currently 3 of them have this...
