Yeah here to .

I ended up getting two for the price of one and I have the other brand new monitor just sitting in the box in the back room.

I'd really have to do some rearanging to set both up but it would be cool. I haven't looked to see if my videocard will allow it but I think it will. Maybe one of these day's.

Mine definetely will. I just need a really long extension cord for the monitor. It will be a funny sight.

Looks like mine will also. Probably just need to use the adapter to hook up the 2nd monitor to the DVI connection?

LOL yah urs will
It's much better than mine (9600XT 256).
All you gotta do is use adapter that came with it yup. Then you can configure things in windows. I feel sorry for you if you're still using ATI CCC. I switched to omega because my friend said they're much better- and they are!

Ok.. Downloading them now. Should I uninstall the ATI drivers first then install these omegas?

Yes you must. Uninstall the Display drivers and the control center. Uninstall control center first. don't restart. Uninstall display drivers and restart. Install the omega drivers restart and you should be done.

Well all done. Did how you suggested and ran a few regcleaners to mop up the mess. Now I'll see what pcpitstop has to say. Are there any hidden tweaks I should know about with these new drivers?

Thanks iXneonXi

There's more tweaks than ever. You gotta be careful with some. These drivers are amazing. Use the ATI Tray tool, you can change nearly every aspect of it in there!

I opted out of installing the extra's. I figured if I needed Ray's tray tool I'd download and install the newest version.

So do I need it to tweak this bad boy?

Thanks

ATI 3d Control Panel and ATI tray tools are very useful. Ray's isn't needed.

I would tweak it. I'd be careful and take note of what i'm doing tho.

Did you get that from Omega or should I ask for you to send it to me?
