How do you actually run the two clients?

Windowed mode, fullscreen over 2 monitors, full screen on 1 moniter and switch?

I run both of mine in windowed mode on one screen mostly, though sometimes I'll drag one over to the second monitor if I need to keep an eye on both.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Windowed clients overlapping 2 monitors degrades performance. Can't speak technically about how that works, but you should notice a slight up-tick in FPS if you make sure a client is not overlapping 2 monitors even by 1 pixel width. I got tired of moving the client window over to insure is wasn't overlapping and just changed to fixed window instead.

You can easily moved fixed window'd clients by pressing escape, graphics tab, and choosing the display adapter you want the client to display on. Two head video cards show up as two graphics adapters there.

Don't ban me, bro!
