By two monitors, are you saying you have two flat screens attached to
one pc? I have a fairly new flat screen monitor, but it looks like
alot of the new Dells come with a monitor as well.


I have twin 19 inch LCDs on my work PC and let me tell you, you get spoiled by
this REALLY quick. Using my single 17 incher at home just feels like there is
no room at all now.


it is cool.
funny but true; original stone age ibm pc would do this; b&w and color
video boards were at different addresses, so you could use both and
send the video to whichever address you like. so we used to do stuff
like do the (scientific curve fitting) programming via the black and
white monitor because it was much crisper, and simultaneously show the
resulting graphics from running the program on the color monitor. and
now here we are again, but with better performance.
