There is actually a VGA splitter. It is something like hub. You can get one at any computer store. It won't cost that much, just about $25 for a good one.

Yes. Or, you can run a LiveCDrom, that has 5,000 free games, programs, applications, and has dual monitors, 20 Desktop environments (con-current!) and more!

To run the dual monitors, you'd need to have a dual head card, (about $25 more than a single headed card form the same maker!). and two monitors. There is a way to use the built in current monitor card, plus a PCI card for the second monitor...

I do this on all the Unix Clones,Linux, BSD, including MACs, and Sparcs!

You don't need any programs to run dual monitors -
You'll either need a video card with dual outputs or 2 videocards with UPDATED video drivers. Even WinXP has the basic settings to get you up and running with dual monitors.

Your video card needs to be able to support 2 monitors. It isn't a software issue.

You need a video card that has 2 outputs. Under XP, it will automatically configure itself, and you have to install the proper drivers.
