Dual monitors and video cards

[Kenneth]

Hey guys I just plugged a HDMi monitor into my video screen and I was wondering if running dual monitors would reduce the video resouliton on the HD monitor? One port is HDMi and the other is DVI

Also the screws that hold in the plugs on my video card fell out and I was wondering if it would be safe just use electrical tape to hold it in place since it does get hot. Thanks

This shouldn't affect your resolution at all. However, depending on your graphics card, it may lag.

What size are the screens? My laptop has an integrated Intel 4500M and dual screens with a 23inch screen just fine.
