Over the last few years I have been using dual screens on my office PC, I find it really useful to do my day to day tasks, have one window open on one screen and then another open on the other.
The only negative thing I have to say about multi desktop is the fact that you can only have one image on both desktops.
The two resolutions I have is 1280 x 1024 and 1680 x 1050. So if I have a wide aspect ratio desktop image set it looks great on the 1680 x 1050 but looks squashed on the 1280 x 1024 and if I have a photo or a normal desktop image that looks great on the 1280 x 1024 resolution but stretched on the 1680 x 1050.
I did some digging round the Internet and found a piece of software that is free :) called Display Fusion. This enables you to set one image across the two monitors (like you can see above) or lets you set one image on one monitor and another on the other monitor. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.binaryfortress.com/displayfusion/.
There are actually two versions of this software: 1.) the free version, which enables you to set the images as your background or 2.) the Pro version which is $15 (about £8 or £9) which enables other features; such as random images selected from your computer for the background.
I then had a look around to see what images I could find for my desktop and came across these sites:

- http://www.dualscreenwallpaper.com/index.php
I am sure that there are plenty more out there, let me know if you know of any!
I use Google screen saver as my default screen saver but there are some products out there that allow you to have dual monitor screen savers too.
