Well what do you want to do with them? I ran dual monitors for a while and liked it a lot for doing photoshop and website design because I could have one screen dedicated to the project I was working on and the second for all my tool bars and such. For gaming though, you are not going to like two monitors at all, if you want to game on dual, get 3 so you dont have to worry about the split problem.
