hey i was wondering if i could have cod4 open on my 22" im getting and msn and shizzle open on a 19" any way with only 1 8800gt?
as long as you can connect both monitors (2 DVI, 1 DVI & 1 VGA adapter, or 2 VGA adapters). the only problem you would run into would be the fact that running your game in full screen would still cause you to have to alt-tab out of the window in order to mouse over to your IM screen. if you had a game that had the option to run in windowed mode (like WoW), you wouldn't have to tab out.
If you want it to open in a window, open the properties for the shortcut. add r_fullscreen"1" into the target box after the file location.
