well, you can game on one screen and do other things on the other. you can also expand your desktop so you have much more room for stuff (IE, looking at two webpages at once). But its really used for 3d artwork, and game design type stuff.

I am hopeful that NVidia will release dual monitor drivers for the 7800 in SLi. if you edit video its an absoloute god send. But as SL is load balanced top and bottom of the screen I suppose its a difficult fix... I just use SLi in gaming mode and click it off for editing

I'm not sure about why others have dual monitors, but as a programmer they speed up my work immensely. I'll have whatever IDE I'm working in at the moment on one monitor and the application on the other. Saves a bunch of taskbar clicking and alt-tabbing. When gaming I just switch to one, since SLI doesn't work with 2 monitors enabled.
