Any possible way to run dual monitors using SLI in XP?

[Chevy-SS]

My computer specs are in my sig. Yeah, I know my rig is getting a little out-dated, but it works beautifully, so I wanna keep it a little longer. I really want to run dual monitors, but Windows XP (combined with my 7950GT's in SLI mode) don't allow it.

Is there any work around at all for this? Maybe a new (third) GPU?

Many thanks for any help.................

Do you mean two monitors as in multimonitor gaming (eyefinity/nvsurround)?

Or just having 2 monitors for an extended desktop which should be no problem for those cards.

Not for multi-monitor gaming, I'm looking for just for the extended desktop. Latest nVidia drivers will not work for XP.

It appears I need to have Vista or Windows 7.

You should have Windows 7 anyway. =)

Well, I most certainly will on my NEXT computer. But the one I have right now works perfectly and I love XP Pro.

Dang, no work around for this issue? Does anyone know if I can install a cheapo PCI video card and then use that for a second monitor? Again, this is not for gaming. My SLI setup works great for the moderate gaming that I do.

Please help!

That should work. Good luck finding a cheap PCI card if you don't already have one. They've gotten expensive over the last couple of years.
