That's exactly what I would like to do. Did you find out if there is any way
to implement the dual-monitor with a G200 and a Millenium II. So NT believes
that it is working at the new resolution so therefore there is no way to
independently adjust the resolution monitors. The reason I am asking is
because I have an old 14" and I am getting a new 17", but I would really like
to use the old 14" also.
