Depends on what you are uding it for?
I use 2 monitors for developing and then have the tesing on the other screen.
If it is for photoshop wouldnt you be better with a bigger screen and higher res?

I think you've answered your own question there Ian.

Depends on the if the lower quality and smaller size of the cheaper units is a problem. If not then yeah, multiple monitors are the way forward.

graphics cards with two outputs, you will probably have x 2 DVI outputs or 1 x VGA and 1 x DVI.

Worse case scenario you will have 1 x VGA and you wont be able to do it.

You can either get a graphics car with 2 outputs on it or get two graphics cards.
If you only have 1 DVI, then you can get a splitter for 2 screens.
