How can I use 1 pc and 2 monitors?

[Eric]

Anyone know what I need? I just bought a new Dell 2400 w P4 2.8mhz and a 2X AGP video card. Will this handle using 1 pc for 2 monitors (1 keyboard & mouse)? Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

you can either have 2 graphic cards (if your first is AGP the second must be
PCI)
or have a dual card.
I would say that if you are going to buy a card to buy a dual one, instead
of buying a PCI one,
because a dual one is sure to work and will not have incompatibilities.
