I use 2 30" screens on a Radeon VE card. It supports Open GL as well as D3D.

Yes you can float the toolbars to the second screen, actaully I have it pull over so that the 4 views take one screen and the main controls are on the other.

But you need deep pockets to get a setup like this, not sure how much it cost. When I am working I use it to create map sand cross sections. So the IT guys had to get me the best. I asked once and they said the card was around $3000 (it's great for work, and at lunch time it runs stuff like T2 and CS great )

I don't think using dual monitors is as beneficial to 3d modeling as they are to video editing... Or anything having to do with long timelines... (maybe if you're dealing with 3d animation... but not really)... So... if you have that much money to spend, I recommend a good 21 inch CRT monitor and maybe a Quadro vid card... that in itself kicks the hell out of any dual head card... but I may be mistaken... (if you didn't know... NVIDIA's Quadro DCC chipset is made specifically for 3ds MAX..) <!--TSHIDE<img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />-->

can someone please help me. i cant figure out how to get gmax to see both monitors
