I have a dual monitor setup I am running a Mac G4 with two video cards.
it's an older setup so there are limitations.
Having 2 monitors is always a plus, tools on one screen and art on the other.
This works well for a variety of software apps, and once you go dual, you'll never go back.

I can't say too much about PC video cards but all the newer cards today support a dual monitor set up so you'll be fine. What I am running into a far as problems are: my video cards aren't the same so I have a very small sync issue ( when going from screen to screen) and the color balance is off a bit.
so one monitor is brighter and bluer than the other.
From what I understand . . . if you have one video card you will avoid these particular hangups. as the resolution and color will match. However if you get 2 cards make sure they are the exact same. I am not sure if you will NOT have sync and color issues but the chances will be smaller if the cards are the same.
