So the multi-monitors are coming out of the same CPU? I guess there is a separate video card/port for each one. This doesn't seem like a thing that you could adapt a single-screen tower to handle.

It's intriguing, but now I only use computers for writing/research, so probably that would be a bit of overkill.

This is the vid card I use:

GeForce 6800 Ultra

Most likely!

A 600$ gaming vid card would prob not be your best investment (unless you want to get into gaming or heavy duty graphics.)

Windows XP supports multiple monitors.
One card PCI or AGP.
Cards can be had for less then 70 dollars. Graphic
processors are built in so very low load
on cpu.
No overkill.
Once you try it you will never go back.
The inexpensive N-vida card allows you to rotate your LCD screens
90 degrees so you can work on two full page documents
in different programs at once.
