Multi-monitors on Parallels

I just got a Macbook Pro and was planning on using Parallels with Windows XP on it. So far it works fine except for one big problem.

While in Windows I'm unable to use a true dual monitor setup (but no problem in OS X). I'm able to move individual windows onto the 2nd monitor using the "coherence" feature in Parallels but it's extremely awkward - the monitors can't be lined up properly, the windows can't be maximized in either window without spreading across both, they tend to push out of the screen and are hard to get back, and it's simply very slow and jittery moving the windows.

I was wondering if there's something I'm missing. Has anybody been able to use multi-monitors in Parallels Windows the same way as native Windows (or Mac)?


And as a fallback, does Bootcamp handle multi-monitors well?
