Dual Monitors.

[drigr_x]

I was just wondering how many people play Fiesta using two monitors. I would, but sadly I don't have the extra port for my other monitor (must go buy one when I have money). Pretty much just post on if you do, if you don't and if you don't know what the eff im talking about.

Right now I have dual monitors and dual desktops, plus a laptop. But this is not always the case.

I have a dual monitor, dual keyboard, dual mouse, dual modem, dual internet ISP's, dual proxies, dual IP's.
I'm pretty much the god of the internets.

That just sounds like 2 computers ><

Oh yeah, I forgot my dual screensavers, my dual photobucket, my dual speakers, and my dual microphones and cams.

I had dual monitors over the summer, when I could borrow a currently unused one. I've moved down to uni, and am now back to single screen.

I miss it. :(

Got you beat. My house is networked. ;)

I have a spare (un-used) computer and I just need my dad's permission to take it apart and I'll get duals on this. I mainly want it so I can play Fiesta and still have the forums and MySpace open.

I don't have the need for dual monitors... Waste of money for me.

I play fiesta with like 15 tabs open , Myspace, forums, the other game i GM for, The live support window for that game , and the help windows that pop up for live support. + lots of msn and aim so it goes over 15 lol.

My transition between Fiesta and anything else takes too long. That's why I want the 2 monitors...

Having 2 monitors won't do anything for your speed.

Having a duel CPU along with added RAM and such will though.

With 2 monitors I could keep them both up. Fiesta on 1 monitor and forums on the other.

...With 4 hands I could eat Pie and Cake... But I only have 1 mouth, so *** is the point?


You're probably better off just getting another computer and a Belkin 1 monitor-duel computer connection, this way all you need to do is press a button and you switch between computers.

Cuts down lag.

The point is I can't do both currently becuse I cant move between windows with ease. If I had two monitors I could move easily since it wouldn't have to minimize the large file known as Fiesta Online.

Frankly I prefer my duel computer set up over duel monitors, though I do sometimes forget which mouse and keyboard control which computer.

As already said, having duel monitors wont increase your speed, to switch from one program to another they will still be a delay, it does not matter if one program is displayed on one screen and the other another screen.
The only advantage duel monitors has over single is the ability to have one screen showing information (or even messengers) and the other to show whatever task you are currently using.
Don't forget that to run multiple programs at the same time you need to have the computer resources to handle the requirements for all the programs combined (yes they will share some resources but not all).

Also don't forget that with a single system you can only control one program at a time, whichever program is currently selected.

Well I don't expect to be able to type and lurk forums and actively play Fiesta.
