[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 563953, member: 32643"] Yep that easy. Just add another PCI video card with 128MB minimum and you are good to go. In Preferences>Displays pane you can detect the monitors and tell it which monitor is the primary. Make sure the card being added is DVI out to hold onto the resolution. If you can find a card that has two DVI out of the same AGP main card that works too. AGP cards are getting hard to find. Also it helps if the system recognizes the actual monitor so you may have to get the right driver if an exact match does not come up. This will help to keep accurate colour and resolution. [/QUOTE]
