I am using windows XP Professional. i have had multiple
monitors connected. i have been able to drag stuff from
one monitor to the other. i want to know if i can use
these monitors like they are 2 computers or if they are
only capable of being used as an extension of the
original monitor

Hi,
You can use them only as an extension of the original monitor.
However if you would like to run another OS on the second screen, using same
box then you could use Virtual Machine, sett it up with desired OS
(win98/NT/2000/XP/2003 or *NIX) and then move that to the second screen....
this is closest you will get to the what you want.

You can do this if you have 2 usb mice and keyboards connected and install
a special program.

email me at and I will tell you.
