I agree, duel display is great.  

But one word of caution.   What is written on the box as duel display is 
not always "true" duel display.    I ran into this awhile back.   After 
having a computer that had a  duel display that would allow displaying 
of different programs on each monitor, I decided to obtain another 
display card that was clearly marked " Duel Display "   After two days 
of not being able to make it work, I called the support center.   Their 
definition of " duel display " was the same information on both monitor, 
not different information on two monitors.   The purpose was to allow 
some one else to view this information on the 2nd screen.   They also 
admitted they had many complaints about their definition of "duel display"

Bottom line.    Verify you can display different information on each 
monitor at the same time.   Once you try it, you will never have 
anything else.
