yes if your motherboard supports it... what sort of motherboard do you have?

If you have run the Windows Vista Upgrade advisor and been told you need to upgrade your graphics card then I would suggest you get a new one to replace the old. A new one with minimum specs would be able to run two monitors anyway and both would be compatible with Vista (if you keep your old one it wont do) If your current graphics is in-built on the motherboard then installing a new one should automatically disable it for you, if not you can access the CMOS and turn it off from there.
PS: Vista only requires an updated graphics card for its aero destop, if you are running XP and the graphics work now then Vista home edition does not need an upgrade, but you miss out on the whole point of Vista. From what I have researched so far the only thing good about upgrading is the cool looking 3D desktop - you will see absolutely no performance increase at all, not to mention a lot of your programs will need updating or quite simply not work at all.

While some motherboards will allow you to run two video cards, a simpler solution (since you would need to purchase a second video card anyways) is to spend the extra $10 to get a card that has two outputs on it. That way you can run two monitors off a single card.

Yes you can :) I am assuming you want the Pilot Effect for flight simulators (thats the best analogy i have)
You can also increase your display workable area this way :)

yes you can. You can then set and assign what is displayed on the monitors using the Displays control panel.

yes, if your motherboard supports NVIDIA SLI or ATI CROSSFIRE.
