I have a ti4200 and would like to do a dual monitor setup. The default way has both screens at the same resolution, but I would like to have them at different settings. One Monitor is an old 15" with a max resolution of 800x600, my new 19" has a max of 1920x1440, but i will be running it at wither 1600x1200 or 1280x1024. Is this possible? Didn't like my main monitor using a res of 800, feels like a waste.

Yes, what's your OS and driver version?

Also, check this:

Read about Dualview (and you can search this board as well).

Yes, if your card can handle 1600x1200 (I think the 4600 can go higher), this works fine. I run both of mine the same since they are the same monitors, but I can change them any way I need to. This only works in DualView, won't work with spanning of course. There is nothing hard, you just open the display properties window and click on one of your monitors and move the slider to your resolution. Just make sure you set your refresh rate high enough to compensate otherwise it looks terrible and kills your eyes (75Hz ro higher).
