I just saw this newsgroup after posting to help_and_support ... sorry for
multiposting.

I want to be able to display the same screen output on 2 monitors. I don't
want DualView ... if I understand it correctly that allows me to use 2
monitors as a single desktop.

I know I can buy a 'splitter' box but I was hoping that maybe I could just
install 2 graphics cards ... if so,
1. Do they have to be the same make and model?
2. How do I configure Windows XP to allow me to use it this way?

Thanks.

Regards

Mike

Once Windows discovers two video cards, it will let you configure them
from the Display Properties panel. You can display the same desktop on
both monitors, or stretch them between monitors. I use a GeForce 440 at
work (two heads) and a GeForceFX 5900 (DVI and Analog outputs) at home.
