Monitor question.

Does it require 2 graphics cards in one computer to run 2 monitors?
I've got a pretty bad graphics card right now, it's only 256mb.
I can get another monitor easy, its just the thought of losing my computer for a week or 2 to get another graphics card put in ;(

Installing a graphics card is as easy as adding ram, they are the first things a novice can do for themselves. Dont be scared, just get an anti-static bracelet ($5) and a flashlight to see what you're doing.

Back to the original question; most better video cards these days can support dual monitors. It is real easy to tell: does your computer have 2 places to plug in monitors? If not, may I suggest getting an 8800gts.
