What else can I do with a dual monitor set up?

[Syringer]

I just picked up a Dell 2005fpw with the intention of having it replace my 17" LCD.. I put my LCD on craigslist for $200, hoping to get around $180 for it or so...in the meantime I hooked it up to my Radeon to get the dual monitor action. . .and to make a long story short I don't think I'm going to sell it anymore.

Right now I mainly use the second monitor as an expensive TV, with my TV tuner screen displayed on it, and using a nice dual monitor wallpaper. What else can I do?

You can play wow in one screen while chatting on AIM on the another!

well, i watch HDTV on one screen while working P) or cruising the net, or chatting on MSN...also very handy when working properly (can have my source documents, usually PDF's up on my second screen while i work on word on my primary screen). Useful for reading walkthroughs/having a temp monitoring program/task manager up to see how hot/how much system resources a game is using...

It makes it much easier generally having the second screen, i can't go back to half the real estate now

When doing school work, I have word open in one writing a report, and Firefox in the other with my reference articles in it. With the amount of good research articles on the web these days I hardly ever go into the university library. When playing Guild Wars I have the game in one and a map of the region I'm playing in on the other. I used to have chat in the other but now I use Skype.
