Hooking up dual monitors

    Hi all, I currently have a nvidia 64mb geforce4 mx graphics card with a tv out port. I want to hook up dual monitors to my pc and was wondering if there was a way to do it w/out replacing my current card. Can I use one of those dual cables that splits off into 2 ports or do I need a certain graphics card to accomplish this?

    PS I wasn't sure which forum to post this in. I ran a search and found other dual monitor Q's in here so thats why I posted in here. Sorry if i'm in the wrong forum.

    If you use a Y cable you will see the same on both. If you want to see one thing on one monitor and one on the other you need another video card unless you have a laptop it will split the video.
