I have a Power PC G5 Dual processor. I'd like to try to use two monitors.. one for my tools and dock and the other for the image I'm working on.

Does anyone know how to do that or if you know of a website that would explain that?

Thanks.

Easier than you think.
As long as you have the proper hardware ( 2 vid cards or 1 card dual inputs)
The rest is mangaed by windows.
right click on your desktop
properties/ settings /

Here you should see 2 monitors
click on the second
in the check box below enable "extend my Windows Desktop onto this monitor.
apply

thats it.

ATI radoin or G-force video cards have dual monitor outputs.
