Applications may behave differently in a multi-monitor configuration depending on their implementation:

•Standard Windows applications that use the GDI (Graphics Device Interface) will clip the window to each display and accelerate the images separately using the display hardware.

•Applications that span multiple monitors and use Microsoft DirectX*, Direct3D* or DirectDraw* will be software accelerated.

•OpenGL* applications may exit unexpectedly, hardware accelerate one display with unknown results on the other or be software accelerated.

•A full screen command prompt or MS-DOS* application will only function on the Primary Device.
