Based on the error message you got, I'd ask what resolution are you running
your dual screens at? Try scaling the screens down a notch or two (each),
just for giggles.

Default Ulitmate Extra - DreamScene = Problem w\ DUAL screen

Doesn't run on an X600 here either.. says there's not enough texture memory
to run when I have the external screen on.

I guess that's a limitation of the driver or chipset.

Let's face it, who needs a desktop video anyway - it just steals cpu cycles.
Might look showy, but otherwise is pretty pointless.

the x600 has a max texture size of 2048x2048 which will limit the resolution
to 2048x2048 that a video can render at. You will need to lower the
resolution of the monitors so that they will both fit in a 2048x2048 square.
Dont think 1024x768 on both monitors will work, but a 800x600 on one and
1024x768 or lower might. You will need ATI drivers installed as well.
