Now that I have gone back to school find that I am in desperate need of 3. One to type papers and one for research, then the 3rd for IM and Giz of course..

here at the lair, i have 2 19" widescreens and my 32" hdtv hooked up together, and my eee has a 15" hooked to that, i could run porn on all of them at once, but i would get distracted and wander through the office never getting anything done.
good thing the girl is coming down this week, maybe i will try it out on her

but i also wonder if changing from 1 monitor to 2 or more once you are used to one, will it just get complicated
(like, having all your applications set for fitting 1 screen, game resolution .... things like that will all have to be changed, no ?! i guess that adding monitors would be better when installing a fresh copy of windows (after a reformat, which most gamers do almost once a year, or even more often)

installed Synergy on both computers.
I did it like this, set up my Pentium III machine as the master, and my celeron D machine as the slave (without a keyboard) and linked them together with Synergy.
I was able to get more work done with this. I sent processor intensive tasks to the more powerful machine, (like watching videos, encoding, ripping, google earth, etc) and ran less intensive processes on the PIII machine (general web browsing, IMing, Word processing, checking email, managing rainlendar, etc).
also job hunting with this was pretty easy too.
edited my resume on on computer, or had txt file with my job history open on one computer, wile browsing job search sites or applying for jobs on the other.
either for work or play I got things done with this setup...
