So, here's the deal: I have two computers, side by side. My primary one is on the left, and it has two monitors. The left one (primary) is a 22" Acer X223w. The secondary monitor on that comp is a Samsung SyncMaster 763df, on the right of the Acer. The second comp, as mentioned, is on my right. It has a Cicero 17 inch CRT.

I have Synergy installed on both, and the link works. What I want to do is scroll through all three monitors. Is that possible?
Thanks.

I like pie.

Why not just rip the video card from no.2 and use all three monitors on one machine?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

My reason is that, 1 it is hard to run 2 monitors with Sli and a second card, and I now I don't have tab of my game to browse the interwebz.\ny

Edit: I'm trying synergy now, as right now I have two separate sets of m/kbs. Anyone have a good guide? 1.31 is confusing.

Maybe his mobo only has one PCI-E 16x slot?

No, I have 2 slots, but the second comp needs its gfx card. I need to have 2 comps, b/c I need to run programs with 2 instances doing different things (video/music editing)
Any ideas, short of buying another gfx card?

I think all three monitors have to be hooked up on the same PC in order to scroll them all simultaneously. You can hook up Cicero on both PCs so your second PC isnt left without a monitor. So all the monitors connected to the main Pc and cicero connected to second pc.

Synergy sees the entire workspace as one screen, and obeys the LEFT, RIGHT, ABOVE, BELLOW of an entire workspace.

So yes.
