Some games are RTG compatible but very few. So yes dual display, RTG & Native. However just like a PC with dual outputs you either need two monitors or a 2:1 VGA switcher to use a single monitor.

Or use the RGB scan doubler built into your LCDTV.

Think again. Even the most powerful Amiga (which you don't have) is not powerful enough to be an every day alternative system for todays needs. It runs Amiga stuff well (obviously). It runs a few great little applications ported to it well. BUT : It does not have Java, it does not have Flash, it does not really have MP3 decode or AVI decode. It does not have Word/Excel, or even a particularly good web-browser (certainly nothing which can view the majority of todays web).

If that is what you're after, get an Apple Mac (or use Hackintosh to install MacOS X onto a PC) or experiment with Linux on your PC.

If re-living the Amiga days is what you're after then upgrade and get fiddling.
