I didn't know that - I'm not a gamer, but it's nice to know. Multiple heads

coding/google/work and my second 15" monitor for debugger/gkrellm/IM etc.
Desktop real-estate is where true property moguls make their name! Heheh.
Now to convince SWMBO that I truely *NEED* that lovely pair of 21" wide-screen
