Dual Monitor Question
My Dell u2412m finally came in WOO!

Quick question, is it possible to play games on 1 and surf on the other?

Googled it and no specific solution came up

Yes it is possible, makes it easier when your game can be run in fullscreen windowed mode or just windowed mode. Makes alt+tabbing much faster.

In some games such as RTS or FPS, it's not too practical.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
