Hey guys is there anyway you can do a Horizontal Span in windows 7 with 2 monitors ? And i don't mean like just extend a desktop to a second monitor i mean horizontal span that your windows detect 2 monitors as one big one.Which mean doubling your resolution.And running at a 3840 x 1080 res if you have 2 x 1920 x 1080 monitors. Is there anyone out there that got this working if so how? Without using extra hardware like the matrox dualhead2go.

Yes there is a way, but you wont like it - get a 5 series ATI graphics card. Works flawlessly, easy setup. I'm sure there are other ways, but I dont know them. Will be interesting to see what others suggest.

You can do this inside of a VM if you want a cheap solution. Alternatively, get any ATI card with Eyefinity and that will do the same thing.

nVidia cards can do this too AFAIK
I remember doing it with my 6600GT back in the days

It CAN be done, but NOT in Windows 7.... in XP this works fine.

A nice 5970 for some decent game running.
Why did you underclock your processor so much? Battery life?

Underclock? The stock speed is 1.6GHz...

I've been using Ultramon for years. It does not do spanning... it does Software-assisted mirroring, which I wouldnt recommend, as it's crap.
