Desktop Stats:
Windows XP Pro
Intel Pentium 4 (3.2) with HT (I think its a single core) but in Key clone it lets be Select between Cores (0-1)
2Gig DDR2 Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE with 512mb Turbo <----A Crappy Video Card
22" LCD Monitor....

I think any other stats are not important for this post...but I can currently run 2x Wow's with my Main staying around 20-30 FPS walking around freely and my Slave Screen running at 15...bc I capped it at that...

I am using 1 keyboard + mouse and have another monitor...but for some reason...when I just to Clone mine with the other monitor...Placing a wow on each screen....my FPS acts like there both Secondary (Background) screens....but I want my 22" to contain my Main...and CRt one for my Slave.... Does anyone know what is going on? Is it because my video card is crap? (My LCD is using DVI and the CRT is using VGA....idk if that matters at all...

Thank you for all the help...Just another guy trying to make the game a little more interesting :)

My guess is that you can only horizontally compress wow so much. So you might have to redo how you set up maximizer to maybe something like this http://www.solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/kc_1680x1050x1_3regions.jpg ('http://www.solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/kc_1680x1050x1_3regions.jpg'). I know its a 3 version but just one of the smaller frames out and leave the other the way it is. Or you could try one of the 2 region PiP http://www.solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/index.html ('http://www.solidice.com/keyclone/layouts/index.html').

Windows XP There's your problem. You're going to have to setup your monitors to horizontal span to avoid the FPS drop across two screens.
