Thanks Malke...no kids in the house and we aren't gamers...mostly bought
Media Center for fun and to due some video editing/creating...etc. Also
will do some TV fiddling...recording..DVD making etc.
I see the dual cards have any where from 128 meg to 512+ What would be
good for our needs ?
Thanks, Tim

The card in the box is a PCI...as is the one I added.
The only setting in SETUP bios PCI and PCI-I for starting monitor ? I
don't
know what PCI-E is though ?
Can I run two monitors on XP media addition ?
Thanks, Tim
What video card do you currently have? If you don't have a video card that
supports two monitors (there would be two monitor connectors on it if it
does), then the easiest way to handle this is to simply replace the
current video card with one that is designed to support two monitors. If
your current card is onboard or PCI-e, you want a PCI-e video card. You
don't want PCI.
The choice of card depends on what monitors you want (size) and whether
you are a gamer. If you only do 2D work for instance, you can buy a video
card that will support two monitors for as little as $45.
You most certainly can run multiple monitors with XP MCE.
