Duel Monitors on PC? [message #22400]

Folks,

Has anyone ever seen IDL running on duel monitors
on a PC? I've seen duel monitors on UNIX and I've
seen it on Macs. But I've never seen it on PCs.
Does anyone know if it is even possible? What
graphics card?

Thanks,

David

It's run well with a Matrox G400 (and the latest drivers downloaded from
Matrox), under WNT 4 SP4.
