[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 334108, member: 10858"] And remember that with clone mode there has been driver issues with both Nvidia and ATI that are disabling the 2nd output (actually they were disabling clone mode itself) when resuming from S3/S4 and no devices are turned. Not 100% sure if its still the case, but it was happening for over a year with both manufacturer drivers. Also Nvidia's driver readme has been telling for a long time that clone or dual modes arent recommend for MCE use (so most likely the same issues are expected for MP also). Only real good solution for clone mode is to buy a DVI/HDMI splitter so that you will have only one output used in the video card (unfortunately HDMI splitter costs more than the VGA card itself :)). If you are planning to use Vista, I would recommend Nvidia, just because that flickering issue with ATI doesnt seem to be cured anytime soon (if ever as no one is currently actively working on it).
