win2k and dual display

[chicago00]

my 21 inch monitor is coming tommarow and i plan on setting up a dual display system with my old 19 inch sony , how exactly

does that work in win2k ? is it worth getting a decent pci vidoe card for my second montitor? what can i do with dual display,

can i play a video on my main screen and have my e-mail up on my secondary, also how do you set up which monitor something

will pop up on ,

if im not mistakin, there are a number of things you can do.

You can have the desktop span both.

But im pretty sure you can just drag applications over to the other monitor so you can like run a DVD on one monitor and check email
etc. etc.

Well, from experience, I use the Matrox G400 Dual head.... and it works great in Win2k....

I can play video on either screen, and there are only a few applications that refuse to allow themselves to be dragged to the other screen... IE ICQ is the only one I can think of....

Works great, I suggest you try it...
