[olug] dual head vid cards

[Rob Townley]

Now i remember, forget hdmi!

DisplayPort has more of one wants.  read the wikipedia entry.

if u can find an inexpensive DisplayPort system, it would be worth a
try.  It can have dual monitor support builtin.

DisplayPort has 2 way audio for a microphone and there are inexpensive
vga adapters.

Hope DisplayPort is on all new flatpanel TVs.
