Its highly reccommended. Very useful for multiple windows, and yeah,
screensets work on both monitors simultaneously. 

Re: The above comment - all powermacs come with dual head capable GFX cards
these days. Normally you have both an ADC and DVI connector on the card. You
get a DVI->VGA converter, but the ADC can only be used with expensive apple
LCD monitors. HOWEVER, I just bought a "Dr Botts ADC VGA Extractor" for just
under 20 quid (from the Apple UK web store) which converts from ADC to VGA
which works a treat.  Decent cheap solution  - *much* cheaper than a 2nd
card, and in theory shouldnt use as many system resources as a second card so
better in general for performance.

HTH,
