So y'know that TV out on my GF3?

So yeah, I have a GeForce 3 TI, which has held me over pretty good thus far. (I can run Unreal 2k3 at a comfortable res and framerate) I'm holding off for a few weeks until HL2 is out before I buy something new and shiny, but in the meantime I was wondering if I could run dual monitors with my GF3. I know other nVidia cards can do it through the TV out but I can't seem to find the setting on my software. I also seem to be missing the mirror monitor option that let you pipe the same output through both TV out and VGA. Any clues as to how to fix it? I'm running (i think) the newest set of drivers and aps.

No, you cannot run dual monitors on the GF3 series. They have only one DAC, so single-output is all it can do.

Cards with dual DAC's include: Radeon 8500 and up (8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500-9800) and GeForce 4 and up (GeForce 4 Ti and MX, GeForce FX series).

Unfortunately the GeForce 3 was nVidia's last card before they implemented dual-DAC's onto the video card, which allows dual display.
 
Now by single output do you mean one desktop or one at a time? I could swear I used to be able to run both at once displaying the same thing, but it could be another card. Of course the only other card I had that had TV out was a Voodoo3; I shudder to think Voodoo3 had something over a GeForce 3
