Advantages to Dual Display

[AnAngelsDeath]

So I got another Monitor and I have them both hooked up. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the advantages and uses of having a setup like this.

Photoshop
Two word documents
Organizing pictures and media, one screen to display media, one to organize folder.

works by default though when you click on the desktop the game will minimize.

If you haven't allready, go and download ultramon (adds another taskbar to the second monitor plus other special little features).

Sometimes if I need some game data or a game guide, I can pull it up on my second screen.
