Dual Monitors and Windows XP

I'm thinking about adding a second monitor to my PC.

I have aan Nvidia FX5200 card in my PC today.

Can I buy another card of the same type, perhaps PCI, and have dual
functionality?

Is there anything special or any incompatibility concerns I need to be aware
of?

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

If your card has a DVI connection then you can have two monitors on the one
card. DVI to analog adapters are cheap.

Thanks for the reply, Ross.

My system currently has a GeForce FX5200 64bit AGP 8X with 128MB RAM. It
does have a TV-out/DVI connector.

I was under the impression that I could only use one of these at a time???

Should I not see two monitors supporting under Control Panel -> Display ->
Settings?
