I was hoping to find a little info on how someone would run 2 video cards to power one pc, and what kind of hardware is necessary to do so.

Thanks in advance for any information!

You're talking about running two cards in parallel, right?
Something like Nvidia's new SLI?

You'd need
1) a motherboard with two PCI-E x16 slots
2) two NVidia PCI-E video cards
3) a whole lotta money :D

1 AGP card as the primary 3D and a decent 2D PCI card plus 2 Monitors and your good to go once you hook up the cards and Monitors then go in the Control Panel and enable them. You can config it the way you want there...Not difficult at all and with Windows OS it has to be 98 or above...
