dual screen games

hi, i have a dual screen setup,(geforce 2 400 64mb) and when i play games the second monitor always switches into standby and does nothing, i wazs wondering if there are anny games outhere that support dual screen (wether integraed into the game or it just leaves te scren on so i can for instance see winamp running)

just sorta out of curiosity

ps. i am using win2k, if that's relevant

Neverwinter Niights supports more than one screen- I saw it on a review with 3 monitors- however, I don't if you have to have a specific video card to play multi-screen

From what I have read about NWN, it is only playable on more then one monitor if you are using the Matrox Parhelia. All the reviews I read show the triple screen setup with that video card. Sorry WWD
