A related question:

I think this might be a bad description of what I'm looking for but, what the hell. You know how you can maximize a window and it fills up the entire screen? Well, I want a program that will allow me to maximize a window on the 24" Dell, but when maximized, it should fit to a designated half of the screen. So the maximized window will fill the right side of the screen. Then i can maximize a second window and have it fill the other half of the screen.

Basically I would like to not have to do the resizing manually. If I maxmize a window now, it fills the entire screen. I want to be able to have two windows side by side filling up the screen, without manually sizing each one.

Do I make sense?
