Multiple monitors - different resolutions??

[SiriusDoggy]

I have two 24" monitors that are running at 1920x1200 resolution and I recently purchased a Wacom Cintiq 12WX which has a native resolution of 1280x800. I want the Wacom screen to mirror one of my two monitors but I want both monitors to stay at their native resolution.
Is this possible?
I currently have a dual head card that is pushing the two 24" monitors and I'm wondering if I can buy another video card (maybe with just a single output) and attach the Wacom to it and have it mirror the desktop of one of the two 24" monitors.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Greg

So does anybody know if what I'm asking will work??
Thanks

That should be no problem. I'm running a 21" wide screen and a 17" CRT on my system.

But can you mirror the desktop to both? Are you using two separate cards or one card with two outputs?
Thanks

With mirroring, you'll probably have to resort to the lowest common resolution of the two monitors.

That's what I'm afraid of. I certainly don't want to run a 24" monitor at 1200x800 though when the native res is 1920x1200.

Thanks for the info though -

Anybody ever tried an app called UltraMon. Specs look like it might do waht I'm trying to accomplish.

It's not a matter of solving with software...it can be physical limitation of the hardware.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "physical limitation of the hardware"?
I want both monitors to run at their native resolution so I'm not pushing anything too hard.
Could you explain what you mean?
Thanks

If you have an option for SLI or Crossfire, you can have two monitors each running at their own native resolutions. I have done this with a Dell 24 inch and a Dell 21 inch.

I always thought SLI was for linking two video cards into one output. I haven't really researched that possibility
