Frank,
Yes, it's straightforward. Used to be you needed a dual head card but
the advent of DGI means you can plug the second monitor into the
analogue outlet. Monitors usually come with a plug in adaptor.
I've no knowledge of Vista but it must be able to handle extras in the
same way. XP can handle four screens. That means the those of us using
the Triple Head2Go can use even more; if we can disguise the expense!
Often the show stopper is just where you can physically locate a second
screen. I've removed the second from its mount and it leans against the
little platfoem I made, on which the View monitors sit.

Gerry,
I have an 8800GTX graphics card with 2 outputs. At the moment I just
have my one 22" monitor plugged into it, so can I buy a cheap say 17"
monitor, plug it into the other output, and have the panel plus IVAO
window on the new screen? I'm running Vista and I think I have some
sort of utility that came with the graphics card but I haven't played
with it.
