I just aquired an extra monitor, and I have several older PCI cards laying around... Thinking about dual monitors on my XP machine which already has an ATI 64DDR VIVO. I'm assuming Hydrovision would not work....

I've never done a dual monitor setup, any advice??

Plug in one of those PCI cards and go to town. Hopefully, XP will have drivers for it since it's likely that the manufacturer won't be creating new XP drivers for an older card. Other than that there's not much to say.

D@mn, that was easy.... This is great!!!!

The only issues I'm having....
1, I need a better PCI card so I can run it at the same color depth as my Radeon (1152x864x32). I'm only getting 16 out of the PCI card and it's obvious even with the desktop graphics.
2, The display properties tab will lock up sometimes when going into detailed setings.

besides that I love this 2 monitor setup!!!!
