Default Dual Montors...ect

I have a new Hp AMD based four core with 8 gigs of ram and windows 7 home on it. I want to run dual monitors on it. Now here is the question. My Pc has one cord going from it to the dsl modem. Can I surf the web and go diffent places on each monitor at the same time?

Um, is this a joke? If you have two outputs on your video card, then you can run two monitors, and display whatever you want on them. Displaying two different websites on two different monitors is no different to having two webpages open on the same monitor.

Also you can have two video cards, each with it's own output.

Yes you can run 2 monitors and surf two sites as well if you have any of these together circled in blue.

Ah so you have 1 VGA and 1 DVI or just the VGA (blue connector).
That is all you need I am running one monitor with DVI and the other with VGA via a DVI to VGA adapter because my card has 2 dvi outputs.
