Are dual monitors at home worth the money? I'm building a new comp, and I don't really do much gaming. I could have a lower spec comp with two monitors, a higher spec comp with one monitor, or I could just be a cheapo and get the lower spec comp. Keep in mind I have $90k in student loans...the computer I'm currently using is 7 years old and is starting to lag even while just opening emails while multi tasking AIM and the internet.
