either use two video card, 1 agp and 1 pci or use matrox g400/gx50 series card or appian dual/quad card or ati dual or geforce mx duals...

no special monitor require...

1 AGP 1 PCI and Windows 2000 should automatically set it up. You can change the settings in the display tab.

If you want to save PCI slots, get one of the dualhead/hydravision/twinview video cards available from Matrox/ATI/Nvidia respectively. Just fancy names for 2 vga outputs on 1 video card.

I'm running an agp and a pci vid card in my system with w2k. I had to set the pci vid card to initialize first in my bios or it wouldn't run dual. Don't know if it's just me. Just a FYI.

I'm using a Maxtor Millennium G450 Dual Head LE win Win2k at work... works nicely. Only one video Card needed. I mainly use it for the extra Desktop space... view two spread sheets at once. Haven't really tested its video abilities.. not allowed to play games at work! although I know AutoCad2000 doesn't run as smoothly as computers with GF2 GTS in them. I recommend this card if you going to use dual Monitors for programing or other office applications.
