Just a note about 2d quality to those who may be interested in an FX5900. I recently upgraded from a MSI TI4400 Vivo to a MSI FX5900 Vivo. The 2d quality of the FX5900 is VERY nice indeed! Noticably better than my TI4400. Running my monitor (LG 995FT 19" Flatron) at 1280x1024, the screen is...

Current system: AMD 64 X2 4200+ 1GB RAM Geforce 6800 Currently noticing it chugging a wee bit in a few games. Can anyone recommend a graphics card around about £100 that'll make a difference? Would a GFX card in this sort of price range make much of a difference

With Windows 2000 or Windows XP the screen saver should be unique to each user-profile. If you are using Windows 98 or (heaven forbid) Windows Me then I believe it's one screen saver for all. Actually, I think even the 9x series of Windows allows each user to have his own screen...

I just got another monitor, same model as my first one (samsung 213t), and I tried to set up my Nvidia fx 5200 card for dual view. It gives me the desktop on one monitor, and when I click on an application, it gives me the application on the other monitor, keeping the desktop on the first monitor....

I'm using a gf4 with 2 monitors, a 17" and the other an old 15". Under the 40 series when using advanced settings, each monitor had separate settings for d3d, opengl and so on, not that it mattered since dualview, not spam mode, doesn't support 3d acceleration on both, but on refresh rate...
