How do I connect two computers with one monitor each so they can drag apps and windows accross eachother?

Q: Ok Right now I have 2 Pc's that each have there own monitor. They use synergy to use 1 mouse and 1 keyboard with each-other. They have the same exact stuff installed on both so they are both compatible with each other. I want to be able to drag apps from one to the other. So I don't have to open that same app on the other. How can I do this

A: The best trip of your life would be to get a dual output graphics card (under $50), install that, then plug both monitors into the best computer, you will wonder how you lived before! You wil be able to drag apps from one screen to the other, have a web browser open on one while you do something else on the other, the possiblities seem endless ;) Next, use "MS remote desktop" or "remoteus" or "VNC" or some such tool to access the 2nd computer and trigger applications. These tools allow you to see the video output of the 2nd computer as if it was connected to the monitor you are looking at. You can also open this view on one of your screens so you can still do stuff on the first PC while doing stuff on the 2nd. The output of the 2nd computer is simply file copied to your first computer when it is done processing. You hardly ever need to mess with dual keyboards or mice :) I use this all the time and cannot remember what it was like before, well i can - bad !
