Also I'm not sure why you can't set the resolution to 8000x8000 if you only
have a 1024 res monitor. My current Radeon X550 will allow me to set the
resolution to 2048x1536 with monitors that only support 1024x768, I then pan
around the application. Have you tried this?

Is anyone here using the 8800GTX? If so can you please try to answer a
couple questions?

I don't have one (yet), but the 'Gaming-System' I've ordered, and which
will hopefully be delivered sometime before the weekend, or just after it,
will contain one. Before I made that decision I have, of course,
investigated it a bit.

1) Does it support dual monitors?

Of course it does. About any videocard made in the last, say, 4 years or
so does.

2) If I have a monitor that only supporst 1024x800 for example and your
set
the resolution to 8192x8192 can you "pan" around the screen?

AFAIK this isn't standard fare of the NVidia drivers; usually the highest
resolution one can select is what the monitor type you chose allows. Why
exactly would you want to do this?

If an application allows you to edit pictures of 8192x8192 pixels, it will
usually also give you the option of zooming in/out and/or scrolling around
in the partial view. Zoom in until your picture's pixels are 1:1 with the
screen's pixel, and you will have what you want.

If you want a bigger desktop, install something like a Virtual Desktop
manager. Even Microsoft themselves offers a pretty nice 'PowerToy' for
this, which allows you to use, and quickly switch, between 4 desktops.
There are other utilities around which give you a user-definable amount of
desktops, which are tiled together; so if you use one of these and define
10 x 10 desktops, you'll have something like you want. Good lucky managing
that, though.
