What do you mean?

You can use two monitors just like for alll other applications.

Push over menus to the second monitor and whatever else you'd like to do.

Couldn't find anything to help you Nuke, although it would very useful to pull the UV map window over to a second window.

I do have a question regarding dual monitors.  I've got a Asus P5B Deluxe with two PCI-E, I assume you can do dual monitors with two different videos cards without it being SLI? I've totally forgotten I wanted to have dual screens.

not sure about that one. id consult youre mobo manual to see if you can run dual non-sli cards. considering that there are more uses for 2 vid cards than merely sli, such as multi display setups, stereoscopic setups, and so on, id be suprised if you couldnt do what you want. i am thinking of adding a second gts down the line for a quad monitor setup.

I can connect four monitors. ;)

One card is enough for two monitors. If it as two outputs... like most cards do today.
