Doing the Multimon

Most PC users today still use a single monitor, despite the fact that the majority of graphics cards at all price points have supported two displays for several years now. Many users also have an extra monitor lying around, perhaps left over from the last system upgrade. Unlike the innards of your PC, monitor technology doesn't advance at quite the breathless rate that CPUs, memory, or graphics hardware does . Sure, LCD flat panels are all the rage – but if you buy one, does that mean you should throw away your old CRT?

Nope. If you have the space on your desk or work area, consider adding the old display to your system, not replacing it with a newer one. You can increase your desktop real estate by 50 – 100% or more. Once you do, you may find that you never go back. You'll not only get hooked on the convenience of dual displays, but also on the added productivity.
