dual monitors

    I have two monitors which I want to use multi screen, ie: stretch the desktop across both monitors.

    My PC is not the best, so I'm looking for a video-card capable of doing this, eithier for little or for nothing. Does anyone know what card I could go for, or even have one for sale or are getting rid of one?

    Sure, it's an old Dell Dimension, not sure of the model exactly but the Gfx card in it currently is a nVidia GeForce 64mb - AGP.

    your options then are you either buy an AGP card with 2 video outs or a PCI graphics card (assuming you have a slot free)

    Are both of the monitors VGA or DVI?
