If running a lot of applications that require a lot of system resources then 2 pcs would be ideal.

I run dual monitors. Would like 3. But there's always some sort of problem (even with updated drivers). If you run dual monitors with no problems, what video card do you use?

dual screens unless you're running multiple resource intensive programs all the time.

I like having 2 computers personally.. I run a lot of monotonous scans and shit with the other computer.. rather not have it bogging down my work machine.
I have a nice 21 inch monitor on the main computer.. I don't need anymore deskspace then 1600x1200 |

I love dual monitors and will never go back. My office has two pc's each with dual monitors than another pc with a single monitor that I usually watch satellite tv on.

I use 2 desktops and 3 monitors. One is for production of work and has the two monitors. To be able to put something on the other one like a googled tutorial on some fucking insane and arcane bullshit whilst I work on the bullshit on the other??? Priceless!
The other computer with one monitor is for when I want to watch a stolen movie, listen to stolen music or listen to internet radio for who knows what reason. |

1 inhouse mini shuttle server and 4 laptop (got one in the bathroom too) all wireless and setup for remote desktop. dual monitors are cool but really not practical if you're not coding, day trader, or monitor servers you really don't need it. they look cool put half the time you'll probably just be focused on 1 screen while the other screen sits with IE open. is it really worth it when you can just click on the taskbar to bring up IE from the background? no

2 computers - leave one for automated tasks and tasks that require a lot of memory/processing power, then use the other one for checking email, light work, etc.

Go triple monitor on the same computer with the Matrox Parahelia card.. I have one and I could never go back to two monitors, or worse yet one monitor even if it was on each of two computers.
Outlook on the right, work in the center, reference material on the left. Cheers, Brad

you dont even have to buy an expensive dual monitor card buy 1 agp kick ass card and one kick ass pci card and you are set. i run 2 nvidea cards each with 64 ram (on pci one AGP) ofcoz use agp for primary monitor.
