weird that such a recent game would go for "the higher res you have, the more of the map you get to see", at least Warcraft III would show the exact same display no matter the resolution (even 2D "HUD" elements were scaled)
wouldn't someone on 1024x600 display be pwned everytime by someone with a ultra high res 27" or 30" display
(but let's have a game of quake 3, and the guy with a 120Hz CRT, or even a CRT set at 125Hz with double buffering vsync on, will pwn the guy with the expensive 60Hz LCD)

Imagine something like that on a small display (although that's quite a bit bigger).

Im reminded of a quote from red dwarf with cryton when he became human something like 'where is the zoom function' 'you move you head closer to the page'
I havent played civ5, it is 3d I assume. If so it sounds like bad design, you cant zoom/move the camera, note to 3d civ ppl its possible to zoom in/out on a place and have the labels at a fixed or a scaled size
IIRC the forumla is X = D / tan(fov/2)

Not really following you zed. If you read widescreen gaming or any of the other multimonitor sites you'll find that "board" type games give you more board space (they're pseudo 3d - 3d pieces on a 2d map) whereas FPS-types give you FOV for peripheral vision to the sides.
In other words, if you compare the 19x12 to the 3x 19x12 shots of a strategy game you typically get 3x the map because FOV isn't part of it (the stuff to the edges of a strategy game to stretch or bend and you can never look left or right and see something
) whereas an FPS is totally different.This is why Starcraft 2 doesn't allow multimonitor in multiplayer.

What game is that? Looks interesting, but I've no idea. I barely play games anymore these days, I just buy em and look at them in my Steam library list...

1st is Civ V, 2nd is Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Pretty sure all 2.5" laptop drives use the same mini-SATA interface as SSDs.
No longer an issue. When I played it earlier this year, no such ads were displayed.
That's comforting to hear! Thanks again! I'm ssssooooooooooooo bored waiting for Diablo 3, I've lost all interest in WoW, which is rather distressing considering how almost religiously I played that game for around 6.5 years effectively (with some breaks here and there), and I really need a good solid single-player title to distract myself with.
DX just might be it, we'll have to see.
