I think I read on this forum about a bug in Windows 2000 that would not let videocards like the GeForce with TwinView and G400 DualHead display different resolutions on two connected monitors.
Has this been fixed ?
I was thinking of replacing my two videocard solution with a GeForce TwinView, but the monitors would have to be in different resoultion (17" and 15").

OP
Surely someone on this forum must be using two monitors on a graphic card with dual monitor output ?
to my knowledge it has not yet been changed.
I have built quite a few systems with the g400 and the g450 and i did not find a work around for this issue.
It is not exactly a bug persay it is that win2k looks at the card as one big wide desktop not two individual ones.
What i would recomend is that you buy a more powerful geforce pure and a cheap pci board for the second monitor.
I got my pci card for $22.50 including shipping
I think that i got it a http://www.compgeeks.com/
