[pchelpers] Re: "Can I use a PC with two screens?"

It's been quite a while since this question came up. I've seen hardware
to support twin vga screens before. A friend showed me a card with twin
vga outputs at his warehouse some months back.

Whether or not Microsoft still supports it I don't know. Still, they
have a reputation for being 'feature kings' when it comes to every
little hardware advance, so unless we hear otherwise the probably do
support it.

In any case, using the 2 cards as you have would be one way to establish
that.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
