Hi All,
I decided I needed more monitor space, so I picked up a second monitor. I have a Dell 2001FP and the Dell 2005FPW. My video card is the nVidia 6800 Ultra.
1) Having one widescreen and one 4:3 is not an issue is it?
2) How would I set this up? Is it just plug the second monitor in and nVidia will do the rest?
3) Can I have different resolutions on each monitor? (since one is WS and the otehr is not)
4) Will I be able to play a game on my primary monitor and do other things in the secondary monitor at the same time? If so, will I still have to alt-tab out?
5) I plan on trying UltraMon, but I am unsure if I need it, or if the nView will do all that I need.
Thank you very much for your help!

nope, no issue...you're bsaically bound to whatever resolution the card supports on display #2
>2) How would I set this up? Is it just plug the second monitor in and nVidia will do the rest?
go to display properties, click on #2 and enable the 'Extended desktop to this display'
>3) Can I have different resolutions on each monitor? (since one is WS and the otehr is not)
yes...see #1
>4) Will I be able to play a game on my primary monitor and do other things in the secondary monitor at the same time? If so, will I still have to alt-tab out?
depends on the software...some apps may only display to the primary
>5) I plan on trying UltraMon, but I am unsure if I need it, or if the nView will do all that I need.
ultramon is a great product and has some special features but for what you're describing, you don't need it.
