You can put crap in the other monitor. I keep my temps and Instant Message programs and stuff on one monitor while I play games in the other.

Quite a bit better as I "Know what's going on".

Id rather have one 20 in lcd over 2 17's. I am not too much of a multitasker and had dual 17 in moniters for a while but it wasnt doing iot for me. I usually watch movies or play games on my pc so a bigger moniter is better for me.
