    Just wondering if dual monitor (bigger screen space) will make using Visual Studio feels better? Most people said it is great for Photoshop. Not so much for programming/IDE. Like to hear your experience. Cheers.

    It's great for debugging UI code. For everything else, it's nice but not essential.

        Yep, I found dual montitor to be great with VS. Unfortunatelly, both monitors I used at work were broken while transporting from NYC to Boston, and I got just one as a replacement :( So, after all, I am not in a position to say I could not imagine going back to a single monitor.

                One more reply and I will buy another 2. I do have more PCI slots in my PC you know. I have enough room for at least 4 more monitors. :) Don't you have homework to do anyway? :) Oh yeah, and she should talk. I had to twist her arm to get HER two monitors and now she is trying to figure out a way to get them at work :) If she had more room on her desk she would have 4 of them too.....

                          This is way cool - I wonder if he want's tea, I am heading downstairs... :-) We play this game, originally called baby tennis... the game is to bounce the baby back and forth, until one of us drops the ball.... (it used to go something like this... go give daddy a kiss.... then go give mommy a kiss.... then go give daddy a hug... then go give mommy a hug.... the winner won, when the child gave up running from parent to parent....) The child now 15 years old, has seems to have caught on to the game, and doesn't play well.... So we have to invent new ways to play tennis.... Usually involving innocent bi-standers..... hehehehehe (so sorry).... hhehehehehe:-O Joanne Cassick Current Accountant Now, IT Student

                              I completely disagree. I would be very uncomfortable NOT doing dual screen displays. You keep your application and supporting windows on Monitor A, the default and primary monitor and all your Dev tools, trace tools, performance analyzers, profiling graphs, and just over all debugging on the other. I could easily see three, put your dev on monitor B, and move all the debugging, tracing, perf monitors, and profiling plots onto screen C. But this coming from the guy who can justify 1 terabyte without even blinking... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                                          I completely disagree. I would be very uncomfortable NOT doing dual screen displays. You keep your application and supporting windows on Monitor A, the default and primary monitor and all your Dev tools, trace tools, performance analyzers, profiling graphs, and just over all debugging on the other. I could easily see three, put your dev on monitor B, and move all the debugging, tracing, perf monitors, and profiling plots onto screen C. But this coming from the guy who can justify 1 terabyte without even blinking... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                                          Level 2 Cache? :omg: ;) I need fast disks, but I don't know what I should do with 1TB of disk space.
