Can I use a video card with 2 video outputs to run 2 seperate monitors? (Win xp)?

I have a Geforce 4 video card, with DVI and VGA plugs (1 of each). I am running my main monitor on the DVI plug, can I install a second monitor on the VGA plug or do I need a seperate video card for the extra monitor?

Thanks!

Answers:
right click>properties>settings> if you see 2 monitors there. right click on monitor 2 and "attach" it. Then in the Nvidia settings control panel you can select how you want it to look and interact with your current desktop.

If you don't see two monitors under settings... then your card can't do two at a time
Depends on the make and model of the card, but I believe that the vast majority of Gforce 4 cards will support dual monitors. So yes, you can just attach another monitor and start running in dual screen mode (which is very handy btw)
