Analytics vs Mint
http://live.pirillo.com/ – Tracking website statistics can be very difficult. TaylorOlson in the chat room wanted to know which was better for tracking website statistics: Google Analytics, Mint, or something else.
Web statistics are an amazing utility for webmasters: they allow you to keep track of your visitors and help you understand what your website visitors are looking for. Once you understand how they’re getting to your website you can build up from there.
For ease of use, amount of data offered, and low cost Chris highly recommends Google Analytics.
Analytics is free and offers a very simple installation process: you simply place some javascript code on your website and you can track your visitors. Analytics also offers much more detail than basic log parsing scripts: demographics, browsers, ISP, keywords used in search engines, what exact keywords were used and how many times.
Mint offers similar features to Analytics; however, it’s not free and installation is not as simple (it requires scripts to be installed on your web server).
We recommend Analytics, but what do you recommend?

One or two monitors?
I would also suggest two but if you are really up to web or graphic design or webmaster or else similar use a dual head card with TV- out, plus one extra PCI graphic card and add the third monitor. Yeah price goes up but pleasure of having extra space is more than great.
