Dual-20inch-monitors

If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and hookup dual monitors for your system.  I had given it some thought for quite a while, and finally decided to take the plunge.  Holy smoke!  I’ve spent money to upgrade my system before, but never have I gotten such bang for the buck.  This type of setup makes work so much easier.  It’s nice to have the screen real estate to have large windows open on side-by-side monitors.  It totally revolutionizes the way you browse the Internet and takes multi-tasking to the next level. 

No regrets.  And it’s cheap too.  Take a look at Tiger Direct or your local Best Buy store.  These LCD monitors are coming down in price sharply. 

Downside: if you don’t have an adequate graphics card, you might need to plug-in a new one.  I have to admit, I started to sweat it when I cracked my case and started to do surgery on my box.  But it wasn’t too bad.  I just had to disable my onboard graphics card before the system recognized the new card.  If you don’t feel comfortable working on your system, you can get a techie set you up for small change…

If it’s a possibility for you, try it out.  Highly recommended!
