Can 1 PP show display 2 time lines on 2 monitors?

I would like to make a PP show that would sync two time lines (one
presentation) to two different monitors. For example: if one monitor
could show bullet points and the other monitor could show the photos or
video. I'm trying to avoid having two laptops showing two different
presentations and hoping that they play at the same rate.

Can Power Point do that?

Thanks
David

I don't have the hardware to test this but I thought that you could spread the
display across two monitors (that behave as one virtual monitor) on the same
computer.  Assuming that to be true, you could set your presentation up to a
size proportional to two monitors side by side and spread it across them.  

One presentation - bullets on one side of the slide, pictures on the other and
not a chance that it'll get out of synch with itself.

Yup.  Good stuff, that.  Written by one of our PPT MVPs.
Only one problem ... only runs on Windows versions of PowerPoint.
