Take a peak at the back of your computer to see if you can find a second monitor port. Most of the time it will be right next to your existing plugin, but it could be just above/below.

Personally I've used two monitors in the past. Today I prefer two flat screen TV's to sitting at a desk with monitors. To each his own though, one large display is enough for most people IMO.

Did you watch the Real Sports interview with the guy putting bets in for Donaghy?? The guy had I believe, 4 monitors in his den. It looked like CompUSA in there.

Quick picture from my phone of dual TV's hooked up to the computer, more comfortable viewing from the couch compared to a desk with monitors.

Two monitors are awesome. I find myself wanting a 3rd however. Jealous of Al's setup

no -- I don't have a second monitor port.. It's a 2 yr old Dell Inspiron (very low price -- but so far very reliable - no problems) .

I was wondering if there is some kind of adapter that could make it possible to handle 2 monitors.

HH you can buy a new video card for most likely for less than $50 that would allow a dual monitor setup. Don't know the cost as I have not bought one in awhile.
