No you can't play cs with two screen.. it will overrider your settings and force you to play on one screen... not that it would help u much

i've got a GOOD QUALITY s-video cable connected to a normal TV - drilled through the wall - (needed to set up a s-video channel on the tv) plus mini jack to hifi stereo in for separate audio. i've not gone surround sound yet cos all those speakers look like a liability - normal hifi stereo with bass and treble adjustments is fine. i've been looking at these AV tuners (new name for amplifier?) and they look expensive for what you get and only worth it if want 8 speakers. let me know how you get on...

bloke in my work has a couple of flat screens and they are wireless - he got a sender unit plugged into his cable box - might work?

am tempted to take the pc through to the living room and use my 37" lcd tv, now that might be something, mind you the max res(or should say optimum) on it i'm sure is the same as my monitor 1280x1024

Met an American F16 pilot the other day and she was telling us about the latest HUD they`re using that projects all thier targetting info onto thier visor so effectively they can see "through" thier plane. Only problem is the cable that plugs into the back of the helmet doesn`t always disconnect like it`s supposed to when they eject!!! Ouch. Still ejection (sorry, no ula nix) shouldn`t be an issue once we adapt them to gaming.

whats a ula? User Licence Agreement? ultra large arse? just back from whitewater rafting to the max down the Ottawa River - tons of fun! Got a DVD video of the day which I'll be sure to send you aech a copy of for your chrissymas presents this year - counting the days already now eh? on the subject of the connection dropping - now that I've changed my router I can get back to hassling the bastards about my connection so am on it. on the subject of hydravision, dunno about ATI but I've found on my NVidia card that when I run two monitors, the performance on the one which is gaming really plummets. To see this effect for your selves (and to find out whether it affects ATI too) try downloading and running one of the latest high performance demos from the chipset manufacturers website, with and without the extra monitor. The effect for me is painfully obvious as my fps on thnigs like nalu and the wierd insect demo goes from silky smooth to like 2fps or worse. mex, can you send me a link to the place that sells the visors?
