Whoa. I shouldn't be to worried about performance, then.

Cripes, what kind of work are you doing on this setup? I'm pretty happy with
my (now seemingly kinda dinky) 19" FP and 1280x1024. Even then I don't
think I run enough apps to take up the other 5 desktops ;-)

I'm not sure dual displays are in my near future, but yeah, I don't wanna have
to buy another new card in six months, eh?
