I know the background is gay, but hey… I made it myself, my sig is a detail of this image…
Now for the programs First row, Maya 8.5 and Adobe Photoshop CS2 Pro, Blender (Basically free, okay version of Maya), and SCAR. So thats probably around $9,000-$10,000 USD worth of software, sorry SCAR and Blender, your free…
Then its just a few games and a few other things, then some SCAR Scripts.

Really? My math says not.
Photoshop = $600
Maya = $300
Some other programs that are less than $100 do not make $9000-10000

Your looking at Maya 8.5 Complete which is now $300. This is Maya 8.5 Unlimited. Maya 8.5 Unlimited was retail $7000-8000 when released, it is now around $5000-6000. So thats where the confusion comes in.
Also, I don't have in that picture Real Flow, which is about $2700 retail price.

I have Nvidia dual view setup so that each monitor acts as a different desktop.
There could be a setting somewhere with your graphics that allows desktop changing. Not sure exactly, mines under the nvidia control panel.
It your running stretched desktops just combine the two images together so that they split on each monitor.

I love it, it's fast, easy to use and uses extremely little space (not hard drive space but the toolbar is only ~70px in height!) :O
So for everybody out there using slow, ugly firefox; Try Chrome for a day and see if you like it, if not then uninstall it. :)
Chrome on linux is really nice as well :)
It has faster page loads, I just want the extensions. :(

I actually used the dual monitors a lot when I had smaller CRT monitors. I was able to manager easily with a single 21.5" LCD though. I found the 2 17" LCDs in the trash, so I hooked them up for a bling factor (I also don't pay for electricity). I use the second monitor fairly often if I have to have 2 programs side by side. The third monitor almost never gets used.

YES!! Most definitely! I use the two at home all the time - for everything; I'm even thinking about a third. A warning though - once you have two, you never go back. ;)
I actually have four at work and would have to say keep it at three or under. At four, it becomes a bit excessive and the benefits of having any more are nearly nonexistent.

not sure what you mean here, but I'll throw out some info.
You just plug in 2 monitors into your comp (assuming you have 2 video outs on it, I have 4, and am running three monitors).
For windows, just plug them in, and then you just need to get to your display settings in the control panel and "change display settings" to set it up.
It should be basically plug and play in Win7, winxp is really easy too though.
It's basically like one large screen, you just drag programs from one monitor to the other, or anywhere in between.

I use four monitors at work - wouldn't develop with anything less.
1 - email/documentation
3 - VS2010/documentation

Now that I'm used to it, I quite like it.
I'm totally one of those people who opposes change, though haah.
