Ok, I am a total newbie, when it comes to the widescreen gaming world.

First, let me tell you a little about my home computing setup.

I am running a Geforce 6800 GS PCI-X video card, with a CRT 19in Monitor, and a Samsung TXS3082 CRT HDTV.

I have my TV configured for 720p (my tv does support 1080i, however I just feel 720p looks better)

Now bascially, all I want to do, is play games on this screen...however as my 19in CRT is my primary monitor, how do I have the games load up on the 2nd monitor? Whenever I load up a game, it always loads up on the primary monitor, not my secondary HDTV.

Any advice?

Thanks

Eric aka TheGame

The simplest way would be to set up the HDTV as the primary monitor.

And not to nitpick, but there's a major difference between PCI-X (Extended) and PCI-E (Express) ;)

Oops, well then I meant PCI Express, but thank you for your quick response! :)
