Default iMac G5 - Dual Screen Question

I know, I know. I should really know the answer to this one, but I don't.

The iMac G5 has a VGA out port on it, and the Apple website states it's to allow mirroring.

Does it *just* allow mirroring or would it support another monitor as a second screen, rather than a mirror of the first?

Am curious to know as I am tempted by a iMac G5, but I *must* have more than screen (currently surviving with three ).

Just mirroring, there may or may not be a firmware hack for it. Someone (not me) might have just sent you an IM with a bit more information.
