    Alright so I have 2 monitors now. I have no clue what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing with them though. I mean I have tried playing a game while I watch a movie and that worked OK, but most games without that borderless window mode seem to think I'm alt tabbing if I move my cursor over to the second monitor, which is annoying. I don't have an eyefinity card so gaming at huge resolution doesn't work. I can see the usage for like having your photoshop work area on 1 monitor and everything else on another, but I easily use my pc for 90% gaming. The other monitor was a gift, but I really am not seeing much use for it. Should I save up and buy another monitor and an eyefinity card? Is there some killer gaming apps that work on 2 screens?

      2 screens isn't worth it for gaming, imo. better off with a single large display. : electrolyThis person is cool!
