Default Dual Monitors

Now with the price of TFT's dropping quickly I'm tempted to do dual Monitor.

When running normal windose apps, you simply move your mouse from one to the other.

How does this work with full screen games where the game has your mouse input focus? - Do you still have to alt-tab out?

With 2 monitors you do indeed simple move the mouse as if it was one large screen. The nvidia card I have allows you to specify if maximising windows uses one or two monitors.

With games the second monitor generally becomes redundent. But if your into flight sim you can use one for the view and the second for control panels, support utilities etc.
