The Video Game Critic

This has been bugging me for a couple of months.

The graphic on the left hand side of the screen doesn't quite fit all the systems. The graphic stops at the Saturn. On some computers, if formats correctly, but on mine it does not seem to do so. I have an up to date computer, and the version of internet explorer I use is 6.029.

Any ideas?

That's normal, up your resolution from 800x600 (Or the lower one you may use, you should be able to see up to Nintendo 64 with that resolution) if it's troublesome, though I have to say its never bothered me.

Ah, ah, I see. I use a weird screen resolution because I run a two monitor setup. No prob.

Again it's also because the site uses frames .

The why:

It makes working on the computer much easier. For instance, a word processor can be on one screen, your email or web browser on another (which is quite useful when you are using the web for research). 

But the main reason is because it is far easier to run music creation software (SONAR, Cubase, Pro Tools etc.) on a two monitor setup, since such software tend to produce a TON of windows. I compose music for computer games, which is my "hoping to someday overtake my day job but I'm still very happy to get to do it at all" thing (www.robhowardmusicproduction.com).

The how:

You can do it two different ways. The easiest is to buy a graphics card that has two outputs (which is what I did). The other is to have two graphics cards. I think there might be some cards that let you use a sort of "splitter" cable also, but I'm not sure about that.

Finally...........

It's totally awesome, in a nerd like way, to have the two screens. (-:
