Vertical or horizontal?

EU03 · Joined: 05 Dec 2006

So I was doing some routine clean up on my computer when I finally noticed the video configuration on my taskbar. For some reason, I changed the orientation.

I ended up doing some rearraging to my actual desktop, re-editing 21 wallpapers, and now I am seeing for the next few days if tate is the way for me. It's pretty interesting, since now drawing digitally and reading already seem more natural, though I had to readjust my tablet (I actually have less space to utilize on it). But now taskbar space is also limited and a really bad downside is that games and videos can't work fullscreen (though I don't do much of either on the PC, anyway).

Though, does anyone know any PC shmups that run tate?

A pair of tate-d screens is a pretty nice setup when your dealing with big documents.

Widescreen tating my 2405FPW just makes me think of 2001's monolith, plus it puts a weird stretch on normal tateable materials.

I saw the topic and thought for sure that this was going to be a sex thread. Maybe it still can be! Maybe it is.

Well, it is better for the guy to do it tate, ok.

DoDonPachi and many others in MAME will run in TATE.

Ok guys, for some reason after a day of running in tate, every graphical effect (even dropboxes!) on my computer has suddenly slowed down a bit, but it's still noticable. Task manager doesn't seem to show anything odd, so I guess running vertically adds extra stress to the video card (GeForce 7300+ GT) or some other hardware issue.
Going back horziontally fixes everything, though.

I've really grown to like this set up and I am unwilling to go back at the moment. How can I remedy this?

Edit: explorer.exe is using 60,000 K for some reason. That's a little distressing.
