Multiple Display Question

[doug4772]

I have an installation at a church where they have the setup below. THey want to add a second monitor to the computer but have it mirror what is on the projection screen.

-Dual DVI Video Card (One connected to the LCD and the other to the Projector)
-The desktop is extended so that the projector does not show the desktop (start etc... just a blank screen)
-They want to add second LCD Display to the computer so they what is on the projector up close.

Question: Is it possible to add the second LCD and have it mirror the projector screen but still be an extension of the desktop? So, the end results would be: LCD 1 has the desktop (start etc), LCD 2 show the extended desktop, Projector shows the same thing as LCD 2.

I may be over complicating this. Can I add a second dual DVI video card to mirror the extended desktop and use the other video card for the standard desktop view?

Thanks in advance!

-Doug

It'd be easier to just add a splitter onto the second DVI port and connect it to LCD2 and the projector at the same time. No second video card, and the only hassle you have to deal with is extending the desktop.
