You can also purchase a video card that supports dual monitors.

Shamrock, you don't need to buy and install a 2nd graphics card. You just need to replace your card with one that has 2 monitor outputs. (If stealth meant to say what I just did, then forgive me stealth)

Your usual standard card comes with one connector, a 15-pin VGA connection that everyone is used to.

Nowadays, some mid to high level cards come with a VGA connector AND a second DVI connector too. (DVI is some better standard, that I'm not to up to date on what exactly its improvements are.)

BUT....... although the DVI connector is TOTALLY different shape to a VGA connector, new cards usually come with a DVI to VGA converter, that will let you plug in a 2nd monitor that has a normal VGA connection.

Here's a link to a card that I mean and you can see the two connectors...



(The 3rd connector in the middle, the round black one, is the TV-OUT connection. No explanation needed.)

Question: Can you give us some information on your computer set up (memory, processor speed, video card info, etc.)?

Comment: Not sure what sites you play on, but is the awesome. IIRC, it supports Party (and skins), Stars, and Crypto sites.

If you do run 2 monitors from the one card then you will experience a dip in performance. When I did it from the one 128MB card it was noticable sometimes, so for performance not to decrease, I'd recommend a second card, it doesn't need to be as high spec, as movies and games will run on the primary card.

Either that or you already have a 256MB card and it doesn't matter too much.
