How to setup a dual monitor system?
I have just bought another monitor so that I can setup a dual monitor desktop, I am running 32bit vista. Is it just a case of plugging another video card and changing the settings in control panel?
Does the other video card have to be the same make and model or will any do? Its not for gaming just desktop work (word, excel, web, html) so nothing too powerful, the card I have at the moment is ATI 128mb x1300 which works fine for my needs.

does your existing card have dual dvi or dual outputs? If so simply connect the other output to the other monitor and then enable it in the catalyst control panel.
I did it last night for the first time, spooked me a bit as I had one display on a 42" plasma and then when I moved the mouse over to the other side it appeared on a 19" monitor
