    Dual monitors

    I'm cleaning this corner of the office to make room for The Vasecamotor and one of the things in the way is an old Viewsonic G90f CRT. I think it works and I was wondering if I could use it while also using the new LCD. Is this possible? and could i use it to look at vent and such while gaming?

    It really depends. Most games that run full screen will black out the other monitor.

      I guess I'll cart it off to the dump then.

        I personally have not run into any games that black out my other monitor while gaming. I run duals and use the other occasionally to show system info so I can see how my system behaves during games. The only catch is that you cant actually click on anything in the second monitor or it will minimize the full screen game in the main.

          Not clicking is OK by me. I would love to have temps and usage up there as well as Vent. I guess I will just have to try it out and see what happens.

            Definitely do that. When I had mine in dual mode seems like I could see it and what I had on it but like he said I couldn't click on it.

                  Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
