Yes. > How do I get picture to both as split screen . Or does this only work > when one card is used.? What do you mean by split screen? How do you do this with one card? Anyway: Go into the monitors control panel and take a look at the options. It is very clever. You can put the menu where you want, you can have all your screens as one big one and so obviously you can have whatever you want of software windows appearing as you choose, PS on one actual screen (eg. this is left of the big virtual one which consists of the 2 actual screens) and say a text file on the right screen. You can also have each screen duplicate the other but don't do this as it is pretty well useless for desktop use. > I would like to have menus on one and work on the other in Photoshop. > > What are the potential cons of this idea? There aren't any except far-fetched ones like a maniac bursting into your home and killing you out of jealousy for having what he has never had... er... um... or winning a crazy TV comp for having the best screen set up among a series of contenders, the money from which you use to learn parachute jumping and on your first jump, the chute fails to open... or the tiny bit of extra electricity you use is just enough to trigger a bill that tips you into bankruptcy... :) David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
