Default Dual Monitor User's..



I just got a new P4 at work and am running an ATI Radeon w/dual ^ Dell 18" Flat Panels. Pics as soon as my new digi arrives. Anyway, Is anyone running a dual setup like this with ATI Radeon's? I downloaded their utility called Hydravision and it's freegn sick! You can create up to 9 virtual desktops. Meaning if you are running multiple programs like I do you can setup virtual desktops that contain however many programs you want and even have a different wallpaper for each! This is perfect if you're like me and want to look busy whenever someone is around. lol. Once you're in the clear.....BAM..Desktop 9. Back to gaming, music, and surfing the net!

My Nvida card allows me to do some stuff. I think Matrix is still better but I don't want to shell out the money.

and if I did I know I would be going to triple LCD setup :doh:

I went back to using windows to manage the dual monitor setup

h: I also have a 21" Dell Flat Panel on my desk. It's wired to a 40" Plasma mounted across the room. We use it to monitor the network.

Can I use this program only for the taskbar feature? I like Hydravision for the Virtual Desktops and don't want to lose that.
