I use the entire screen to view whatever page I'm on, so the desktop is only seen at the morning boot and the evening shut-down, unless I need to launch another app.
I run some pretty beefy video cards on the two machines I do work on and as much of that work requires running multiple programs at the same time I run both units with dual monitors. heck even the old machine with an AGP video card that I handed down to the kids only ran as a single monitor system for the first two weeks I had it. I'm to the point that I can't understand how people can work with a system sport but one display. what's all that got to do with my desk top,?, heck that's one of those generic ones that came with windows just due to the fact I very seldom have reason to look at the thing.
Why do you need dual monitors? (How many monitors can one view at once?) Right now, I have 14 windows available on Firefox. How would another monitor help me? Thanks.
like I stated in my earlier post I do work (video editing and such) that I need to run through multiple programs to get to the finished product so I'm running and viewing those programs and what they are doing across the multiple monitors. there have been many times I'd like to have four monitors on both of the afore mentioned systems. a work around that I use is an ezShare USB cable connecting the two systems together allowing me to drag and drop editing jobs from one to the other. one of the systems is a 64 bit XP pro system and the other is 32 bit XP pro each running different editing programs according to each systems ability to run the programs at optimum performance. and if I want and do at times listen to internet radio broadcasts on one system while watching cable T.V. on one of the monitors of the other system all while making posts here and reading email, working on CAD drawings, playing a quick game of half life 2 and talking on voice over internet phone all at the same time.
