Yea, I use dual monitors as well and there is no going back!  Like the others 
have said on the right monitor I put up the schematic for cross probing, the 
constraint manager.  I also have all the windows (show element, colour, etc) 
pop up in the right display to not obstruct the left display with my board 
showing.
  
I also have the control panel undocked permanently and have it at the left edge 
of the right display to maximize the viewing area of the pcb window.

What really works well is Allegro and the Constraint spread sheet!
