Multi Monitor Software

[AbeSmith]

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure where to place this topic, so please forgive me if it is in the wrong area. This thread is about Multi Monitor Software. Currently I use this software: http://www.mediachance.com/free/multimon.htm

It is freeware, very stable, and works with up to 3 monitors. Basically what it does is give the option to have a taskbar on each additional monitor. So lets say you move a window to monitor 2...then the taskbar window information will also move from the main taskbar to monitor 2's taskbar. On the MultiMon taskbar there is also a clock, and also a drop down menue that is really a clipboard of the things you have cut and pasted, so you can easily go back and reselect an earlier cut or copy. And what I like most about this software is that it places a button on the top right corner of the open windows, and if you click it the window will automatically move to and open in the other monitor. I don't know how that button would work with 3 monitors though since I only have 2 monitors.

Anyways, hope this is useful information.

Hi Walter. I have a ATI Radeon 9550 i believe. 256MB. It has two monitor slots, one for DVI and one for VGA. But since I have 2 VGAs I attached at DVI to VGA converter to the DVI.

I purchased this video card on EBAY as a 512MB card from someone that was in Dallas. When I got the box I noticed a 512MB sticker on top of the 256MB box, so I got suspicious. But when I plugged it in it said 512MB so I didn't think about it too much. Later when I had to reinstall my operating system I noticed that it read 256MB. Turned out that there is a trick to overclock the 256MB and that's probably what that seller did. But it's not worth it now to go after the seller.
