Forgive my naivety, but is this possible -

Put 2 graphics cards in 1 PC.
Connect a monitor to each card (2 monitors in total)
Get Windows to display one app on one monitor, and another app on
another.

Basically I want a full-screen (non-windowed) app displayed on one
monitor whilst being able to display another (normal windowed) app on
the other.

Thanks, regards, Robert.

You can do this in Windows NT 3.5, which you can find in dumpsters everywhere.
