I have two monitors hooked up to my PC, and I highly recommend it. When
I'm running LabVIEW I have block diagrams/front panels on my main
monitor, and a plethora of palettes, (context) help etc on the second
monitor.

If you run Windows XP, dual-monitor support is built into the OS. This
means that you don't need a dedicated dual-monitor video card - two
separate video cards will do, so you can add a cheap video card and a
cheap monitor to your existing system and you're off. If you've got a
spare monitor to hand then you're about $20 away from LabVIEW nirvana.
:-)

If you're buying a 2nd video card bear in mind that you almost certainly
won't have more than one AGP slot, so the 2nd video card will probably
have to be a PCI one.

All the best,
