i was wondering how can you set up dual monitors on a single computer, do i need any new cords or anything? ilo0lOl0oli
 
Usually if you want to ues two monitors on a computer
you will need to have two video cards and if you are using
windows then make sure you are at least using windows 98 Second Edition because that is the version of windows when dual monitor support was added.
Well that is all

Note that it's better to have video cards from different manufacturers if you're going that route.

Also note that companies like Matrox produce Dual-Head graphics cards that allow two monitors to connect to the same card.

Apart from that, it's as easy as David says.

It's a little trickier under Linux, though... CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk
