Dual monitor question

[chuboy]

Hey guys got a quick question to ask you. On my my computer I have a monitor plugged into my (single-monitor) AGP video card, however there is a spare DVI slot on the motherboard itself - I've picked up an unused CRT monitor for free from a neighbour, and I'm wondering, what is the story on dual-monitor support in this situation?

I dunno, I found that dual monitors are really useful if you're doing art, or that sort of thing. Or if you're doing anything where you want to have a screen doing something of it's own (maybe a fullscreen game? Rendering? That sorta stuff)

Well, this might be too specific for some people, but I rip a lot of OPs and Ends of anime as videos. Then I use my TV to show the video while I can use the computer for something else. I guess this also works if you rip a lot of videos off Youtube or Google Vid.

That's what I use it for anyway.

Yes, I'm an avid flight simulator, having the extra screen means I can undock gauges and the like and have them elsewhere.
