Getting a 2nd video card will not help at all, unless you have a video card that can do Crossfire, which does not include the 9000 series
(A full list can be found here: http://www.ati.com/technology/crossf...ldyourown.html).
EDIT: Oops, see post below.

Take a look at the back of your video card.
If it has the standard VGA monitor port and a DVI port that looks like this:

Then you can do a dual monitor setup with an adapter like this:

If you don't have the 2 ports, then get a different video card that has 2 ports.

Anyways, back to the topic:

I've never managed to find anything good in the trash, most likely because I've never bothered to look. I guess I should start looking occasionally, though, since it appears as if many people throw out good stuff.
