Dual Monitor Ownage

Heh.. interesting screenie. Don't think I can do that with my setup (2 video cards) If I can, I haven't figured it out yet :P

I do it by using a feature in the NVidia drivers that makes windows think it's using one 2048*768 screen instead of two 1024*768 screens. Then you can just edit some stuff in the q3 config to make it use all of that screen.
Even if it looks cool the space between the screens will get very annoying ;) Three monitors would be a lot better though. Then the crosshair wouldn't be split in two.

I thought about that, I'm doubtful it'll work though.

I use a dual-monitor setup as well. However, unlike many scenarios I keep hearing about, a lot of people seem to have two video cards (One card for each monitor) I use a GeForce4 Ti4400, and it has DVI and VGA output, both of which I use for multi-monitor coolness. (GeForce and old ATi Rage Pro)
I don't use my multi-setup for gaming, but it suits waaayyy better for 3D Modeling, animation, image editing, and drooling over seeing the matrix on both monitors at once (Matrix Code Emulator, I believe; I do modeling with Rhino 3D and Ray Dream Studio for animation, image editing with Paint Shop Pro 7)
Hermmmmm... does Windows 98se support 3 monitors?
If it does support it, I may just lug another 17 incher from downstairs and plug it into my comp for uber l337 3D Modeling.
