Windows XP: Dual LCD Display

[Jimmy Hsu]

I have two LCD displays but cant seem to set up Windows XP to recognise
bothe screens. I press Right Click arter WinXp loaded up, then Properties,
Settings both only one screen is recognised.

I am using Windows XP , Adapter Type GeForce4 MX 420 (NVIDIA compatible)
128 bit on on a DELL 2.2 Ghz with 256 RAM.
IE version 6.0.2990.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519

Many thanks

In some video card driver you have a special page to configure 2 screens. To
open it you can look in Start Menu shotcuts or do like that : open the
display properties page from the control pannel or with a right click on se
desktop. On the last Tab, named parameters (I'm not sure of the name, i have
a french version ) you have a botton named "avenced". You may find
hier specials parameters to configure your 2nd video output.

Nonsense, Andrew.

This is *not* a one-size-fits-all situation. You get good performance if the
amount of RAM you have keeps you from using the page file, and that depends
on what apps you run. Most people running a typical range of business
applications find that somewhere around 256-384MB works well, others need
512MB. Almost anyone will see poor performance with less than 256MB. Some
people, particularly those doing things like editing large photographic
images, can see a performance boost by adding even more than
512MB--sometimes much more.
