	I have a computer-related question if anyone can help? I 1. Buy a dual head PCI-compatible video card. A pretty cheap solution again but my concern is I hear is here can be a lot of compatibility problems.

Here is a site that discusses compatibility issues with a database of users who have tried various combinations of video cards. Use the database to see if the combination of cards you are interested in has been looked at before.

Thanks Jerry - that site looks to be very helpful.

Abe, yes I think talking to the manufactures before committing is a good idea, this is getting complicated!

Hehehehehe, it helps to look at it as a learning experience...

And seriously, for me it is. Already this thread has given me an idea of what is and isn't possible. Getting a dual monitor display seems to be the low-hanging fruit, easy to do. Now its just a matter of going a little further up the tree...

Mods, would it possible to change the name if this thread? It might be more helpful to others searching with similar questions to mine if it was renamed "Multi-monitor display question" or something like that?
