Dual Screen Problem

I've recently set up a dual monitor configuration on my PC and noticed a problem last night. I have a poker game which runs in it's own window on my desktop. When I play it in my primary monitor it's fine, but when I drag the window over into the 2nd monitor things get all jerky and the sound skips. Why is this?

I have the primary monitor plugged into my 9800pro VGA socket and the 2nd goes intot the DVI socket.

There's a technical reason for this. But bottom line is that many apps need to be run on the "primary" monitor..Doesn't matter which one you make primary.
