I've been tring to get two monitors to display the same desktop at the same time. In effect, I want what happens in one monitor to be mirored in the other (that way a client will not have to look over my shoulder nor will I have to turn my monitor). Bolth video cards are nvidia one is a Gforce4 the other is a TNT 64pro.

Also if I can not do this with nvidia cards what do I need to do this?

You need a single video card with dual outputs that supports mirror mode. Most NVidia's with dual outs support mirror mode. Does your GeForce4 have dual outs? Mine does.

Or if you have a second computer system, or laptop, you could use a remote screen app, like Windows Terminal Services, RAdmin, VNC, or many others.

you can keep your current video card, there is no need to buy dual head card if you need only 2 monitors with clone mode...instead you can buy a spliter cable...this way you will have 2 indentical desktops at the same time
