I have seen people using two monitors on one desktop. What I want to know is what do you recommend as far as video card to use. I am running Windows XP Pro and I only have 1 PCI -E slot for a video card. Any advice will be helpful

Get a dual headed video card,
or an old PCI video card

Yep either PCI or dual head PCIe.

One thing you need to remember is that you will only be able to game on monitor 1. I had to physically turn off the second monitor because it would display a lower resolution copy of my desktop. but if you are programming and have a tutorial or web browser open on 1 screen and your editor in the second it is golden.

I roll with my ticket tracking system in 1 screen and my remote desktop stuff in the second.

Go with the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT (spendy but worth it). It supports dual monitors (dual DVI even) and has great performance from the new GPU's Nvidia offers). I have the NVidia 8800 OC 640MB DDR3 which runs my dual 19 inch LCD's with no problem. Like I said, spendy as all get out, but for me it was worth it (since I also game on this pc as well)
