As far as i know you have to have a cable that you can buy that has 2 monitor cables jacked to 1 cable end, therefore allowing 2 monitors to be hooked up, such as the ATI Radeon 7500, but if you have 2 video cards you can do it that way also, but you might want to check to see if your vid card even can have dual monitors, check in your display settings...i think the dual cable would be your best bet. Can be picked up at any Best Buy.

You should be able to do it with Svideo seeing as how you can hook the svideo into a tv and make the tv a dual monitor...so maybe try and get a second Graphics card and hook svideo to svideo...or just straight cable to cable...change which monitor you want in the display settings as your main screen, or choose split mode. either or. hope this helps :thumbup:

Buy an adapter/converter or a video card with dual monitor capability.
