Using two monitors for Photoshop ?

[BayAreaPhotog]

I have heard that you can set up your computer to use two monitors. On one monitor would be your main image and the other monitor would have all of your photoshop tools, thus giving you more image space to work on. . . Anybody set up their system like this? How is this done, through my computer or through Photoshop? I currently use Windows XP Home edition and Photoshop CS. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

That's what I'm doing now but I have some problems. I can move the tools to the 2nd monitor but my photos won't go accros? Else it looks quite good.
Before I used two dif. size monitor and found that some of the tools would not work from the second screen; someone suggested to adjust the screen resolution to be the same in each monitor.
I'm new at forum and don't even know how to post my own thread.
I don't know either why I'm listed as a junior (only wish).
I appologise for perhaps misusing the thread and hope someone can help me to get back in the right track.
