1: with your mouse over an area of your desk top right click and select properties.

2: go to settings. what you should see is 2 monitors in the picture block.

3. click on monitor 2.

4. below the picture there should be 2 boxes you can click on.
the second box should have the words extend my desktop onto this monitor. click that box.

5. click apply.

at this point you should be in business.
but if it is PCI then this won't work as separate displays are not supported in the PCI version. only the AGP version supports separate dual displays. To achieve separate displays then you would have to have 2 video cards. I had the VE pci card which is supposed to be the 7000 on an old computer I had so that is how I found out about that info.
