June 18, 200521 yr When i play rs i usually watch anime on a different computer. Problem is that its annoying as hell to multitask two computers so im thinking of using my workstation which can multitask beautifully (dual xeon 3.2 gig ht so its like 4 processors :P) to play runescape and watch anime on the same computer. Now problem is that i dont have a spare monitor. I do however have a samsung 42 in lcd tv that was put into the basement as a home theater then kinda stored away when we bought a projector. It does not accept computer inputs however so i am wondering if there is a way to hook up the S-Video out of my video card to the tv and have it so that its dual screen (i tried to use the nvidia Nview since i have a 6800GT and it didnt work). anyone has ever tried this before? If not ill probably have to either buy another 20in lcd or take a computer out of my game network (got 8 dell precisions in it. The 2 laptops i have 1 is too old and 1 is like ultrathin meaning that it cant run anything besides msft word and IE so running rs and a full screened windows media player will be difficult on it. Tried to use the Intel Extreme utility. Got it to work but rs lags.
June 18, 200521 yr I'm not too sure s-video would work (but i haven't tried it out). Most videocards have VGA port and a DVI port for dual monitors, but I'm guessing your lcd doesn't have either I don't think I was of much help.... :(
