I finally joined the modern world with a dual monitor setup. Amusingly enough, I have an ATI AGP card and for the second monitor I’m using an Nvidia card. I thought about buying a dual head card, but it’s not really necessary. I find this setup works quite well, and I have plenty of video cards to spare.

Learning how to effectively use all this extra screen realestate is quite another story entirely, however…
