Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Full Screen Apps w/ multiple video cards.

Here is my situation. I was looking at getting a Matrox G450 PCI... and later down the road getting an AGP card for games.

I have a Cornerstone p1600 and an HP P910 for displays, and the p1600 has dual inputs.

How, or can I make it, that I run my standard Windows 2000 desktop on the G450 (into the p1600), and 3d apps on the AGP card? (nvidia for example) (also into the p1600, but on the other input?)

And if so, when I launch something else that can be truly full screen, like a Realplayer/WM video, or clicking 'Full Screen' on a cmd window or VMware workstation, can I control to which card it executes?

I had an ATI 9700 (cause some system problems), and no matter what I tried VMware always went 'Full Screen' to my p1600, and never my 2nd display the p910. It could only get worse with two cards.
