1st, you will need a PCI card for your secondary, and it will have to have 
drivers which allow it to work as a  secondary display.
FS won't work very well with a 3d window on the second display, so 3d is 
not really a consideration, but you can quite happily use panels etc on a 
second display.  (I have run with an old dog Matrox Millennium 2Mb card 
with panels on it and it was fine)

Oh and when you get multi mon going (see I said "when" not "if") I've got a 
2 screen F-4 panel for you to have a look at ;-)
