      it's a dual core processor so i don't think it would be that bad. You can watch video or play game on a single core just fine (no multitasking) and if you get a dual core, which at basic is two single core chips in one box, it should be ok right ?

      And you'll want two GPU's. Too much stress on one to try and why not get at least the same kind of card, why get a worse card if price is not the factor at that point?

      So just get two identical cards and you're probably set for now.

            LISTEN TO ME!! you do not need two video cards to run dual screens!!! Use the 9800gt that you said and it will be flawless.

            Also 9800GT and 7600GS will not work together even if you install both of them you will still be using one or the other.

                    Where do you get the notion that they are copyrighted ? ?
