How To Build a Dual-Monitor System
Dual-screen setups are relatively easy to implement, in part because the latest Windows versions recognize multiple monitors. What's more, modern graphics cards on desktop PCs typically include a standard VGA port and a digital video port--usually a DVI-I port--which can output either digital or analog video signals. Adding a second monitor involves no extra outlays beyond the cost of the second display.
