I do not agree in all points. I guess this is not a CD-Rom for sale, is it? It is a special project for a limited, known range of customers. Since almost every modern graphic card can handle two monitors (even the ATI SE series) I would recommend to run the stage on monitor 1 and a MIAW in monitor 2. You can easily determine it's size with the desktoprectlist. I have been doing this for 10 years on the Mac and for 4 years on the PC even with 4 outputs.
