I'm ready to take the plunge into double monitor-land. Intuition tells me
that all I need to do is hang another video card into the chassis, hook up
another monitor, fire it up, and configure it with sax2. Is it that easy? -- /snip/
Many years ago, I had a (very expensive) DOS CAD program at work, which could produce a color image on one monitor, and text on another. I found it to be quite distracting, and I went back to one monitor. It would seem to me, with the very high definition and large (21" and beyond) monitors that exist today, that there would be no real reason to go to two monitors. The mechanical engineering programs (like Pro-E) seem to work well on a single monitor, as well as the electronic CAD programs like Agilent/EEsof, etc.
I would like to hear from those who disagree, along with their reasons. I would expect those who disagree would have used a 2-monitor system for some time, of course.
(I am not a Pro-E guy, altho I am familiar with and somewhat competent with AutoCad, but an electronic CAD user from way back.) I hope this is not O/T for this group, since the question was asked here.
