Windows 2k and XP handle it natively. There was a description on the
page of how to do it once you have two monitors hooked to either two
cards or two outputs of a dual monitor card.

There are some enhancements from some of the card vendors (made in their
drivers) but in general it is all the same. Matrox (and I think ATI)
had special drivers for Win98 and WinNT that would let you run dual-head.
In general (for Win2k/XP anyway):
Right-click on the desktop, choose properties, then click the 'settings'
tab. You should see two rectangles representing the two monitors.
Select number two and there will be some options to control how the
desktop is managed across the monitors.
