With a little cajoling and much patience I have convince my new employer 
to provide me with a two monitor set up.  I had this in a previous 
position and I experienced to flavors.  One was what I understand is 
called "dual" where you have a primary and secondary monitor.  The other 
was I understand is called "span" where the system considers you to have 
one wide screen monitor.  I slightly prefer this latter option, but I am 
no experienced enough to know if I can set my self up that way.  Anybody 
know in good brains, blogs, documentation to pick to understand the whys 
and wherefores of Span versus Dual?

A bit of systems information if it helps.

Gateway Intel Desktop with Intel Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family.
Two gateway 17" flat screen displays. 
One is connected to the display card as a 'monitor' and the other as a 
'digital' display.

There is apparently an 'Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver' plug-in 
installed into the display properties.  With this tool I was able to 
create an interesting effect of turning my monitors sideways.  So 
instead of two 1280x1024(wider then tall) displays I am currently 
experimenting with two 1024x1280 (taller then wide) displays. 

I think this could be kind of cool in span mode so that my task bar 
would span both monitors and be 2048 pixels wide.
