okay guys, i just picked up a brand new 19" which leaves my 17" free (not to mention a crap 15" i've got lying around as well)

does using a 2nd monitor take up a whole lot of extra resources, and what resources does it pul on most, ram, cpu, vid card?

i puy my buddy list and the tv guide listing up there, but i don't know of what else that others might use the monitor for. what uses have you guys found for it?
