greedo Starting over (again) - A new approach

Recently my media server OS drive crashed. I repaired the drive and put a ghost image back on the drive. While doing this I began to think. Maybe my approach to reaching my goals has been all wrong. Maybe I am fighting to get up a hill that is too difficult.

Here is what I would like to do with the system.
  1. Run dual monitors. ( 1 is 17" and 2 is 65" )
  2. Play games on the 65" ( MAME and other games )
  3. Use Meedio on the 65"
  4. Use the 17" as the maint interface

Here is what the current box hardware
  1. AMD 2400+ CPU
  2. 1 Gig of Ram
  3. ATI 9800 Pro APG video card
  4. NVidea PCI video Card
  5. 40 Gig OS dirve ( C: )
  6. 120 Gig ( data drive )

One of my biggest issues is that dealing with dual monitors has driven me crazy. I have been working with UltraMon without any success. No matter how I set things up. Games such as Madden and Tiger Woods golf always come up on the smaller monitor.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
