my Geforce 4 has two outputs one which is DVI and you simply need a DVI-VGA
converter but I got mine free with the graphics card so you don't need to
hook up another PC or anything

I have a FX5600XT NVidia card (on a winxp pro,AMD2400+ box with 1G Ram) and
I can use both my monitors (19" and 15" ). Works ok in FS2k4, but contrary to
Ches, I do notice a framerate problem. Since my 2nd monitor is only 15" it
is not too bad, but very noticeable
And it really cannot be another way, there are simply more pixels to
calculate.
You can get an idea what will happen if you change the pixelsettings for
your current monitor.
