Can I put two monitors with XP home using two different video cards, or
do I need one card that supports dual monitors?

What about dual keyboards?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can use either a 'dualhead' type card that has two
outputs or use two seperate cards, either 1 AGP and 1 PCI
or 2 PCI.

As to dual keyboards, yes you can do this, I use a system
with a standard PS2 keyboard and a USB keyboard. But, if
you are thinking of trying to create a multi-user machine
then this won't work as the keyboard will type wherever
the mouse focus is.
