Generally the graphics card installed on your computer will dictate whether you can run dual monitors. Desktops are more likely to have better graphics cards than laptops so in a sense they generally can operate dual monitors. Your graphics card will likely be either made by ATI or the NVIDA company.
You'll also need to consider what types of cables your computer receives. I just got a desktop and it only supports one DVI cable and one VGA cable so I had to make sure I got monitors that didn't only take DVI or VGA. add a comment
