Hi

Note really a typical videocard related topic... but is related.

Is it possible to use a notebook as a monitor for a desktop pc? if so, how?
I think this would a great feature to have.

Cheers

Probably not in the sense that you are thinking of.

You can use various remote control programs to do this, but it's an
unacceptable solution in terms of performance for most purposes. If you
have XP, Pro has "remote desktop" built in, and even Home has "remote
assistance" (also present in Pro). Or you can use programs like Laplink
or PC Anywhere.

But I suspect that you want to use it as a monitor, not as a remote
control computer, and no, that's not reasonably possible.
