YES!!!! i use it, and lemme just tell you.......SOOOOOOO time efficient. (actually i use 3 monitors. (1 for acid, 1 for sound forge, 1 for reason) a lot easier having all programs up and visible, without having to minimize one and maximize another. but, yes...acid supports dual monitors. (to an extent)

Like marc said, as long as you have a video card that has dual-monitor support (some even have 3 outputs), sure, you can do that.

HTH,

i use dual monitors with acid.
i have the arrange page on screen 1 and the mixer,explorer, and chopper on screen 2 (undocked of course) equally divided into thirds. the vsti page and the effects plugin page floats above the second screen aswell(as needed).

You can put more than one graphics card in a PC running Windows 98 or newer. You don't have to have a dual-head graphics card, but it's probably easier to set up.

yeah, i just have 3 display cards. (and yes, it was a pain in the arse to set up)

1 agp card (n-vidia)
2 pci cards (radeon)

if you dont know how to get "down and dirty" with computers, i wouldnt reccomend doing it this way. there was a lot of changing "IRQ'S" for devices cuz one of the cards was trying to share an irq with my 10/100 card. but anyway....get a dual monitor output card. MUCH easier to set up!!
