OK, i am looking for a clear answer to this question.

My computer is a AMD 64 3200+ with 1gb mushkin ram, 9800pro and ati 7000(pci).

What i would like to do is to be able to play video on my 2nd display while playing a game on the 1st or at least be able to run msn and aim on 2nd during game play. Also is there a way that i can swith to a chat window( say in msn) on my 2nd disply with out haveing to minimize my game?

Ohh crap! that was more then 1 question....:P

Yes you can have MSN open when gaming. I have Desktop Sidebar monitoring RSS feeds & ICQ running there while gaming.

If the game runs in 'Windowed' mode, you need not minimise the game. If it runs fullscreen you have to Alt Tab to free the mouse from the game screen...
