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

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

Ive never really gotten a full answer, will dual monitors reduce proformance and if so, how dramatically?
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.
