What do you mean by "one for vertical and one for horizontal"?
You can install another VGA card and another monitor, to expand your desktop. In order to do that, you need Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE.

I think the person originally postig is talking about SLI (Scan Line Interleaving), which is only possible on the VooDoo2 series or cards. Even then it was only used in games that could take effect of the feature. Buy a GeForce or Radeon, which would make a lot more difference than having the Voodoo2 cards.
