  • Switching from dual head to single head.....arrrrgh.

    I haven't installed the latest drivers yet, but I'm hoping that there may be a way to switch from dual head to single head without having to reboot each time. Anybody know?

    You have never had to reboot.

    Just go to your display properties, and uncheck the "extend desktop to this monitor" checkbox. This leaves DH enabled, but does not use multi-monitor.

    No reboot. OGL works this way.

      OK, that makes sense. The next question is whether or not I'm utilising all 32MB of the RAM or whether it is still split 16/16 in light of the dual head still being enabled? My goal is to be able to switch to gaming mode with all the memory available.
