Hi every1

I'm in the process of creating a media pc which is based on the living room.
To that PC i connected my 42'' lg screen which will mostly be used to watch movies played streaming from the pc wether from the dvd-rom or any media player.
Additionally, i want to hook up a second monitor to the pc mostly used for gaming and sufing the web or do any occasional work on it.

My question basically is this one: can i have a movie playing on the big screen with the corresponding audio and at the same time be playing a game on the other screen with the corresponding audio also? if so how?

I have been reading some posts but came to no satisfying conclusion. who can enlighten me?

Thanks in advance

Not possible. You'll need two computers to execute such operation.

Most demanding games usually take over your video card and blocking the signal except the game screen.
