Do I need more than one video cards to have multi-
monitors or is it just somthing with one monitor and
switch back and forth?
Still don't know the name or manufcturer of your
driver.On your driver, look for a sticker
with an FCC ID number. Then go to this site to determine
the manufacturer of your card.

Are you looking for RAM memory for your PC but still
can't find the right memory.

You can switch between two monitors using a monitor cable switch, or you can
have two monitors simultaneously (showing the same display) using a y-cable.
Or you can install a second video card and a second monitor and get two
monitors showing different parts of the desktop, or you can replace your
existing video display card with a dual-display card, and drive two monitors
from one card..

When Windows detects that more than one video adapter display card is
installed, it gives you the option of selecting which one to work on for the
settings in the display applet. You set each one separately. You also get
the option that allows you to nominate how the monitors are arranged
physically, so that (for instance) the mouse tracks seamlessly from one to
the other.
If you are using two video display adapter cards with two monitors, you do
not select which one to use - you use them both together. If you are using
one video display adapter card and two monitors, you use the switch in the
monitor cable to switch between one and the other.
