Multi-monitor is supported on most Intel® 810 chipset family-based systems using PCI video cards to support additional monitors. With the latest graphics drivers for the Intel 810 chipset family, the integrated video can be either the primary or the secondary display adapter.
System Requirements for Multi-monitor:

Windows Method (Windows XP or 2000 only):Go into Start » Settings » Control Panel » Display » Settings and click on the picture of the second monitor. Click the checkbox labeled Use this device as the primary monitor. Click Apply.
