If I am running a laptop with Vista, how can I most easily set up two external monitors? Do I need some sort of splitting cable? My laptop has a VGA port and an S-Video port. Can I simply run one connection from one and one from the other?

Not a dumb question at all. The answer is easy: because I have a spare LCD monitor, and was trying to use it. And I don't think my wife would let me drop $300 on a new huge monitor!

So do the two monitors act as one under Vista or how do you get different portions open on one not on the other and vice versa?
We use two on my husbands main office computer. It's pretty cool and you find it's really nice to have two full sized pages up. We are using a splitter cable.
