virtual dual monitors on a widescreen display and x300

[RobR]

I just bought a 24" Dell widescreen monitor and have an ATI
X300 card. Problem is it's a major PITA trying to get two
apps to run side by side. I have to start them up, then
adjust the window size of each and then drag them next to
each other. I was wondering if there was software that
would effectively set up virtual dual monitors so
the right half of the display would be "Monitor 2"
and by default apps would be assigned to Monitor
1 or 2 and maximize to only fill half the screen.

Thanks for any ideas. Thought widescreen would
be cool, but it's turning out to be sort of a pain.

When you have opened both apps right click on taskbar and select tile
windows option.

Hmmm... that's a good idea. This features has only been around
since what, Windows 3.1? .
