Correct.

I haven't run a dual-card setup. I have two systems I can relate to. One is a dual-E5345 system with 10GB of RAM, and one is a Phenom 9650 with 8GB of RAM. > With a single card & 2 monitors everything was > fine.

I haven't run a multimon setup in a while. I sacrificed one of my displays as a debugging display for another machine. What driver are you using? About 3 years ago, I had a setup going where I was using both my onboard ATI RadeonHD3200 and an nVidia GeForce 210 with five displays split across the two. Flash never *crashed* on me, but it did get extraordinarily confused whenever it came time to fullscreen. (I did eventually switch to using an ATI Radeon 5770, but only because of the headaches trying to manage things with two different proprietary tools. You could do some scary stuff at the time. I don't know if that's still possible. I'm certain I was running an unsupported configuration...) > > If I had lots of money I'd look into an Nvidia card that supports 4 > outputs but for now I'm stuck with what I've got! I'd bet on it being a driver issue. -- :wq
