Multiple Display 101 - Beta - Your inputs please

**dragon2309** · 05-29-2008, 12:05 AM

you certainly have my ticket of recommendation. very nicely done sniperchang.

I will forward this to the section mods to see about getting it stickied for you.

Looks awesome.
I read it fairly quickly (so maybe i missed it)but didnt see anything about changes in proformance.
Ive never really gotten a full answer, will dual monitors reduce proformance and if so, how dramatically?

I'm not sure myself. I'll take the time to investigate, and add more on the subject.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I think there's still room for improvement, but a good start from the sound of things.

I was actually thinking of using this thread as a temporary 101 (that's why I called it a beta). To directly get people's inputs to improve the guide before I post the 'official' one. This way the 'official' 101 is free from other posts, just to keep it clean and I can improve it before it gets stickied. I've asked Preator's permission to write the 101, so he's aware of it, I'm sure I can get him to stickie the 'official' 101 once the beta is over, or you could make the mods you have/will contact aware of this.

thanks Dragon, for your recommendation; It means allot coming from you.

Did you read section 6?

The very first FAQ question covers performance.

If you did read it but not understand it, wait t'il I put in diagrams, it will make a world of difference. If not I'll re-write it if others also didn't understand it.

very good, i have added this to the annoucement at the top of the video card section along with the other 101.
This is a great peice of work and we are greatful for your efforts.

Note, we are tending to shy away from stickes, hence the annoucement

oh yes, I started to notice so.

Do you think I should just keep my 101 here, or make a new thread? (if, that is, you wouldn't mind changing the link in the announcement). I can remake the improved 101 without my extra posts and others' replies, just to keep it clean and formal.
