I am successfully using dual (LCD) monitors on my computer. I am using an ATI Radeon 8500 64MB Dual-Head card ($150 OEM).
The only limitations I have are that both monitors must be running the same resolution and the monitor rotating software (for rotating LCDs) doesn't work. Also, the few games I have tried crash if I don't disable multiple screen support first (which takes all of 5 seconds).
Matrox also has good multi-monitor cards (2x, 3x and 4x) but they cost a bit more.
Windows 200 and XP natively support this feature so there is nothing complicated about it. Just follow the instructions that come with your video card. Also, make sure you download the latest video drivers.

I'm looking at trying a multi or duel monitor system with MapInfo but I'm real unsophisticated in their operation. Going to the Internet I found several companies that make the boards but not enough information to jump off and buy one.Would like to hear from any of you that are using duel monitors with or without success.
