I am thinking of going to a dual monitor setup. I will be buying a 19 monitor this sumemr and have a pretty much brand new 17 inch already. A freind said he woudl give me a free geforce2 mx 200 pci video card. What advantages is there to haveing dual monitors? I know ther is more workspace and all. Can games run on dual monitors? Anyone out there have a dual set up? What do you think? Do you recomend it? Jack
