After installing the card and drivers, you want to follow the manufacturer's
instructions for configuring your system. Configuration is done through
your system's Display Properties dialog > Settings panel.
You are presented with a diagram for each monitor and you can set the
resolutions independently by selecting a monitor and adjusting the screen
Area slider. You will also often find utilities included with the drivers that
enable special features for the graphics card.
The disadvantage to this configuration is that one monitor is a primary
while the other secondary, so performing some tasks can only be done on
applications positioned on the primary monitor. For instance, if you use
screen-capture software, you can have that program open on the secondary
monitor, but if you want to capture an image, you can only capture images
of applications that are located on the primary monitor.
