Wanting two monitors and when I go to 'display' and 'settings' it only shows one monitor, and from what I've read I need two in order to run duals. Do I just need to get a dual video card? Is that ALL I need? What about memory, if I'm only using it for general surfing or watching an occasional tv show? Thanks in advance!

You just need a video card that has dual ports, or you could get 2 separate video cards.

Yes, you can run two monitors with two video cards.
No, you dont need anything else.
The number of cpus really have nothing to do with this.
(P.S. A lot of video cards have TWO video out ports. Then, the one video card will run both monitors.)
Good luck!

incredibly plenty each portraits card properly worth stating can surely cope with twin video demonstrate units. As for working 2nd existence, returned any new card with a type call on it incredibly is going to likely be greater desirable than sufficient. i've got by no potential heard of a portraits card with an enter, usually inputs are accomplished by potential of seperate video catch playing cards. it incredibly is an completely diverse set of hardware required.
