I've never dealt with a dual monitor setup before, so bear with me.
Where I work, we do a lot of work on our local desktops and on a Terminal Server. Switching back and forth between desktops all day is starting to become a nuisance. I'm thinking about installing a dual-port video card in each workstation along with a second monitor. This way, we could have the local desktop in one, and Remote Desktop in the other. My main questions is this: Can I run Remote Desktop in full-screen mode on the second monitor or does it have to be in "windowed" mode? I don't really need/want to extend the desktop across two monitors. I just want Remote Desktop to run full-screen in one monitor while the local desktop runs in the other.
On a related note... anyone have a recommendation for a good dual-DVI card for standard PCI (not PCI Express or AGP)? The PC's are Dell Optiplex 170L's running Windows XP.
