Since all you want to do is have another window for AIM, a cheapo PCI card will probally be your cheapest and easiest solution. Another is to build a cheapo PC and just have a second computer. Another is a program I found that allows you to turn a second computer, like a laptop, into a second monitor via software. MaxiVista lets me use my laptop as a second monitor for monitoring AIM, but can't watch video on it because it runs over the network, and I've only a 10 card in the laptop, not to mention the ATT StarLAN switch they are running through. So I havn't really used it, because durring full screen games it shuts off the second screen, but it might work for you.

In my opinion, this is the best solution.
