I used to have dual CRTs but I upgraded to an LCD. Hopefully in the future I'll have dual 22s

hehe, nice. And when you have more $$$, go get yourself 2 more 24" monitors. XD

Get the UV16 so you can do that without adding another card.

depends on what you're doing, if you just have one thing going at a time(internet for example) i wouldn't say its worth it, but if you want to have a game going, and use the internet or something like that, go for it

Go for the Dual Screen, i use it on my laptop and it's great!

For my next PC build i'm going Dual Screen.

It is good for Multi tasking!

I highly recommend Dual Screen.
