    If I...

    ... get a dual monitor setup... will my Sapphire 256mb 9600xt
    1) Support the two different resolutions (1024x768 and 1280x1024)?
    2) Will I be able to have a full screen ap open on one monitor without it affecting the other? As I want to use the second larger monitor as a TV -

    Thankyou

    it should support different resolutions, and you can have something fullscreen on one monitor without affecting the other.

    although, if you're using one monitor as a TV, why not just get a TV?

    I watch dvd's on my second monitor while doing browsing etc on the other. I don't think it'd be too keen on that and say, playing a D3D game at the same time though.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Because 20" TVs are 600ish, and the monitor is more versatile. 640x480 TV. 1280x1024 Monitor - Plus I want to run everything through me comp. TV, Games, Radio, Music.

    + Kez, I doubt I will end up doing both at the same time anyways...

    Should do. Games are quite picky - some will not run with dual-display enabled.
