How does the pixel math work with multiple instances of wow running, at different resolutions? Would it be (800x600x4) + (whatever resolution my main screen is) = total?

Im wondering if I can get more mileage out of the video card by tuning down the resolution alot. Would that idea make the 30" monitor work well? And the same would go for the 22" inchers obviously. Im debating returning my 22s this morning and getting a 30 =). Thanks for the feedback.

Also, is it even possible or does it make sense to tune a 30 inch down that much?
it really depends on how you want to set it all up. if all of the clones are going to be set to 800x600, then the only other thing to take into consideration is the main. if you run your main at 1680x1050 on a 30" monitor, you'll get the same performance as the same resolution on a 22" monitor. if you ran your main at that resolution on a 30", you'd be able to fit your clones around that somehow, and you should get the same performance. now if you want to turn the main up to 2560x1600, you're probably going to get lower fps because the video card has more to render. it mostly depends on what resolution you want to run your main at and whether you want 2 monitors or 1.
personally, i have a 22" right now with a 17" crt for my clones, but i'm going to get a 30" for my main and put my clones on the 22".
