I have 3 at home and 4 at work. I put email, quotes/charts and order entry/internet. at work its email, IM/chat/internet/other, quotes, data spreadsheets. Three is nice - four in a row is a little much. I'm going to try 2x2 at work and I'd love a 3x3 setup but honestly I think that's a little overkill...
There is a great little programme called 'Ultramon' It allows you to run multi monitor setups. For example: 1). Different desktop background on each monitor. 2). Set a certain programme to a certain monitor. 3). Switch programmes between monitors using hotkeys
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I don't see why not. My setup is 2 monitors connected to the box. The right monitor I have my charts and the left monitor is my TWS/email/web/msn etc
Forgot to add the url in my last post. Silly me. Take a look at their website - http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/
