I want to game on one screen, while i have my desktop on my other screen/ I only have one graphics card (9600GT), so would i just need to follow section 4?
Sorry, I haven't been on the forum for a while. You should be fine to setup your multi-display with the 9600GT. Section 4 pretty much sums it up. Just set the monitor you wish to game with as the primary monitor, and you should be good to go. Have fun

What will happen if I run the 2 monitors in dual mode? One is CRT with viewable 19" and one is probably at least 20" viewable, I can see there being some sorta confusing jump between the 2... any comments about this?

Very good I must say was interesting as well... thank you!
This question might be cold by now, but I'll answer since I'm here. You will notice a jump in your mouse, however, it's rare you'll have a window or anything really in between your monitors, only while you drag a window across. So it's not really a big deal.

However, you can fix it by setting up a custom resolution on one of your monitors to have the same pixel/size ratio, however this also means running at an non-standard resolution which would also be at a non-native resolution.
