    Dual or Single Monitor

    Do you run a dual monitor setup? If you are a special boy and have more than two then just vote yes.

    Just asking as I've got hooked on it

    I prefer a dual PC set-up. E-mail and office type applications on one with an LCD screen. The other a stripped down turbo modded gaming PC using a CRT. Rather than having an all purpose PC, have a PC for every purpose.

    Outlook, MSN, WMP on one screen and then FF in my main one for surfing. Or atm am learning PHP so various tutorials on one, test site in Dreamweaver on another.

    I love the space... I have been using dual for three days and I'll never go back.

    Hey no option for 4!

    Probably overkill, but kind of useful when you're programming websites to have firefox/ie on one, text editor in the second, and database on the third

    The fourth - well, got to have somewhere to run winamp vis.
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

    I see no point in having more than 1 monitor for 99% of people.
