I found that two seperate video card was the way to go. I've tried Matrox and Ati dual head cards and experienced problems when maximising a form - they maximised over both monitors. After some fidling with settings you can stop this, but pop-up windows still appeared centered between the two monitors. I currently have an Ati Agp card that came with the PC and a Matrox Pci card driving a couple of 17" LCD monitors.

W2K
and XP should support multiple monitors straight away.
You'll
either need a video card with two outputs or two video cards. Apart from
that, don't think you need anything else.
Once
Windows finds your new video card (i.e. you've got the hardware installed), you
can use the Control Panel Display Settings Applet, Settings tab, to tell Windoze
to use both monitors.
That's
about it. Simple.
Good
luck,
Conor
