Dual Monitor Ownage

[sponge]

I feel the need to brag this, for no real reason. I had an extra computer which recently died out, so I harvested it today, and this happened.

Oh, the picture in Photoshop is merely for sample purposes :P

*sigh* my Gainward card with dual screen output started behaving weird so I had to RMA it. They sent back a better GF4 card, but without support for 2 monitors, so now I'm waiting for a good one.
And, yes dual monitors r0x0rz.
It can be kinda funny to watch anamorphic widescreen movies spanned over 2 monitors, but the space between 'em gets a bit annoying after a while

Windows 2000/XP seem pretty happy to accept any PCI card along with an AGP card I have an AGP GF2 and a PCI TNT2 in my "games" machine at home (and a nice Matrox G400 dual-head on the server).

On the piece of poo on my desk at work I've got the onboard GF2MX and an ancient Matrox Millenium working happily together.

Debugging "onpaint" methods is so much easier with two monitors

Hah, I have 3+ monitors! 2 monitors for regular usage and when I want to work on web pages, etc, a TV for when I want to watch movies or TV shows, and a VCR hooked up to my last port for when I need to get videos I can watch in school.

Wow... I'm famous... or rather infamous. Eh, potato patatoe.

I kidn of want to sell my desktop, and then I'm going to hook up my mom's desktop with my 21" monitor and dual it with her 17". She'd like that.

It all depends on the quality of the display, though.

Matt: If both LCDs are for games, then forget about it, nothing is really multimonitor friendly. The lag time on new LCDs have been getting a lot better - I know someone who's nearly professional level in Quake3, and he uses a flat panel.
