Most video cards, though, support only one monitor at a time, so you need to install one additional video card for each additional monitor you want on your system. When you have more than one video card and more than one monitor on your Mac, the Monitors cdev (Control panel DEVice) expands to allow you to tell the computer what arrangement the monitors are in (so it knows which is to the right or left of, or above or below, which of the other(s)) and which monitor you want to hold the menu bar. You can also specify whether the monitors are to be used as contiguous space or separate areas, I believe. Enjoy your second monitor! -- Mark H.
