Dual Screen with a xfx geforece card

hi,

im new so if i sound dumb forgive me.

i want to setup dual screen on my home pc....i have the two monitors and i remember my graphics card manual saying that it supported dual screen (through nview).

the thing is it only has the one vga port on the card and when i go in to the screen properties there is no nview tab in the advanced option.

any help.

byt the way a link to the graphics card i have, just in case:

many thanks

i have 2 nvidia cards geforce4 ti4200 and a geforceFX5950 Ultra
using windows XP
both pretty much do it automatically for me if 2 monitors are connected both come on. the first time is usually cloan mode (both monitors are the same) then go to display properties and 2 monitors show up, select the 2nd monitor and click on extend my desktop on to this monitor. then you have dual display.
I would suggest getting the most recent driver from nvidia.com if you haven't done so already.

correct me if im worng -
i think Nview is just nvidia's multiple desktops. this allows you to have sorta like more than 1 computer running at once.

if you want another moniter you will need to get a nother graphics card (if you have a really really old computer you can take it out of there(make sure is pci)) it will have to be pci so that you can have 2 graphics card 1 moniters per card. this is how my dual screens are.
