What do I need for dual monitors?

If my properties shows 1 cpu, do I simply need a dual video card to run dual monitors?

Wanting two monitors and when I go to 'display' and 'settings' it only shows one monitor, and from what I've read I need two in order to run duals. Do I just need to get a dual video card? Is that ALL I need? What about memory, if I'm only using it for general surfing or watching an occasional tv show? Thanks in advance!

You just need a video card that has dual ports, or you could get 2 separate video cards.

Yes, you can run two monitors with two video cards. No, you dont need anything else. The number of cpus really have nothing to do with this. (P.S. A lot of video cards have TWO video out ports. Then, the one video card will run both monitors.) Good luck! James
