How do I connect two monitors to my 2000 workstation. I want to be able to use that dual monitor support. Do you have to have a special video card or can you just hook up two video cards to one PC. You help is greatly appricated.

from what i undersand all you need is a video card that fits in your pci slot on the motherboard you plug the 2nd monitor in. You then reboot your machine go to display properties in control panel and you configure the way you want it.

That's pretty much it. Add a pci video card (I used a TNT2),install the drivers and enable it in the display properties. I had driver problems at first so I tried different drivers until I used one that works. Once you get used to 2 monitors you won't go back to 1. I highly recommend it.
