Hi Frank,
It's seamless. It's as if you have one big monitor. Most 32 bit Win
applications support dual monitors. I'm using a 21 inch for my main and a
13 inch for my tool pallets. I also run ACDSee on the 13 and drag
thumbnails onto the 21 inch to work on them in PS. In Dreamweaver I can put
all the tool pallets on the second monitor also. Makes it a much easier
work situation. Also, make sure your graphics tablet drivers supports dual
monitors. The older Wacom Artz II drivers didn't but the Intuos drivers do.
They work well with my older pad, which I prefer.
You go to your monitor settings, Right click on your Desktop / Properties /
Settings and enable the second monitor. Works like a charm. The card
automatically knows the positions of the monitors. All you have to do is
specify which is the default. If you go for a Matrox card you can e-mail me
with any questions and I'll try to help.
