the dual monitor feature extends your desktop to stretch across both monitors, giving you more room to work.
 
or it can run two screens seperately. i thought it'd be fun to have the screen stretch across 2 monitors but having 2 different monitors. running them seperately works alot better
 
i knew you could do that with a dual monitor cards, but not with just 2 video cards! is there a patch or special driver you have to download or is the capability built right into XP?
 
WIth 2 video cards you can choose either to stretch it or use it at 2 screens and yes this feature is built into XP.

You do not need a special video card for this.

You can just add a 2nd PCI video card.
