Hey fuckers.
My brother just got me a n nVidia Geforce 6200 for my birthday... 256 MB DDR2 RAM, pixel & vortex shaders 3.0, and fucking Dual-Screen support!
I had another monitor lying around, so I plugged it in and now I'm running 2 monitors.
It's amazing.
I use the internet and games and shit on one screen while monitoring my downloads and shit on the other screen... I fucking love it.
One of the best things that's ever happened to me.
Anyone else have this? Anyone else fortunate enough to be awesome?
Well fucking... Tell me, and I'll check back in the morning. Bed time for the me.

Proud to say.. yes.
Got a 19" flat panel, and a 14.5" laptop screen, both running at 1680x1050, connected to ATI Mobility Radeon X300.
It IS fucking awesome.

I bought a nVidia 7600GS (512MB) about 8 months ago. Love it. I run DVI to my monitor (Monitor also accepts VGA in from my xbox 360) and an S-Video out to my TV. Sadly the TV won't support the same resolution as my monitor, nor is it as readable. So I don't use it for much except playing movies that I haven't burned to disk yet on the TV. It just clones anything in the middle 1024x768 pixels of my screen, so I stick a movie in the middle, turn my tv on and go relax on the couch.

Also works for visualizers for my music.

I need a second monitor, but finding another LG 17" 1280x1024 8ms monitor is too hard now. I'll probably end up buying a pair of 19" or 22" widescreens and using this monitor for my Xbox permanently :)

That's nice and all, but does it have DVI output, DirectX10 support, 3840 x 2400 resolution and Crossfire/SLI?

Where the hell have you been? I couldn't live without duals! My first job as a programmer about 3 years ago started me off with 2 x 19" Sony flat panel duals. I really couldn't function without it. Coding on one screen will running the web app on the other or watching a movie. But I welcome you to the age of duals. btw, just because everyone else stated, I am running a Nvidia 7900 GT.

I have a nVidia 8600 GTS with Dual screen support, and I have 2 flat screens, one mounted on the wall and the other on my desk, which is quite kewl.

Yep

DirectX10 support

Nope (DirectX9)

3840 x 2400 resolution

Nah

and Crossfire/SLI?

I dunno. Doesn't say, so probably not.

But I don't really care... This is my first good video card I've ever had and I'm pissing my pants.
My brother gave me a $100 limit... When I get a job, I'll save up for one (after a bit).

And shit. I'm late. Everyone has this shit.
Haha.
Nice to hear how convenient it is.
I'm really looking forward to making good use of it.

Is it just me, or is every one of your posts filled with excessive profanity?

I mean, come on. It's not an essential part of your vocabulary unless you're going through something horrible. And even then, to a minimum.

Yeah, my bad. I've been trying not to curse so much lately while talking, but when typing it just always comes out ( I typed 'fucking' before 'comes' there, but backspaced it... I just can't freaking help it (had to change that one, too ))

Just be glad this isn't guitarhero.com
Their forums still use a language filter. The worst one I've ever seen for that matter.
For example, I can't say Fuck Shit Bitch or Bastard, like you would expect, but...
I also can't say Jazz, Boob, Sexual, Porno, Damn, Whore, or Panties.
Yet, for some unknown reason, I can say Ass, Dick, or Balls.

If it was, I wouldn't be here. ;)
I love the game, but don't have a 360, and don't see much that I would want to discuss about the game on forums, you know?

That's stupid as fuck. I mean, that's stupid as crap.

'balls' is understandable.

Surely that's the same as NG? I only stayed on these forums 'cause of you guys, not to discuss NG, same with the majority of the guitarhero regulars will not be there for guitar hero, but the community.

I have a 15'', and I hate it.

Just thought I'd share my discontent.

Eh. That's not so bad. As long as you have something.
You should save up and get a bigger one though.
I have two 17" CRT monitors... I wanna get some flat-panel ones. That'd be hawt.

Hehe, yeah, I was merely pointing out the possibilities... A card like that can cost around $1000.
