Will two Monitors give twice the 'real estate', or just one monitor magnified?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying two monitors for my Apple G4 (DP Silver Door).
Will these give twice the pixel "real estate", or just what only one monitor would give,
only bigger?
That is - if each monitor is 1280x1024, will two monitors give
2X(1280X1024)?
Thanks,
Kevin Nolan

ever

It depends on the monitor you buy. I just bought an Apple studio display - 15 inch. It's
maximum res is 1024 X 768 and OS X gives me total control over which screen is the daddy
and what the res of each screen is too.
I wanted it expressly for using
plug-ins and editing patches.
It's a bit [ ****** ] with the different res, I
operate my main monitor at 1280 X 1024, so everything is bigger on the Apple, which is
actually good for plugs, and it looks sexy, works sexy, and only cost £70 from ebay!!!
Pigs 'n' [ ****** ] spring to mind.

I hate to nit-pick, but it won't. It'll give
you (1280 x 2) x 1024. 
Now 4 monitors, on the other hand...
