Two independent screens one pc ?

[XtremepballerX]

Hi my custom computer is fried ( ) and I wanted to know if there was a way to get one pc to run two separate independent screens. Since we need two pcs but the second would be used for internet browsing and maybe playing dvds I rather not buy 2 pcs.

I found this give but its not really two independent pcs but VMware

your link idea is fine

That is amazing you can do that. Never heard of it. You can also get a new cheap pc just for family when they come too:

I see no reason why running a virtual machine can't accomplish what you're looking for. The other option is to just dual-screen with your current PC.

I watch the news on tv and read the news like freepress or stock market if thats what ya mean. Im running dual monitor 24 Samsung Syncmasters. Worked well with XP Pro and works well with windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

so just running dual monitors will let me use two mouses /etc? Easier way to do it than virtual machine?

Why do you need to use 2 mice?
