You need a video card with dual monitor support and you need two monitors. Just plug the screens in and set your system prefs. You may also need some kind of adapters, depending on the type of monitors and the output of the card. The latest NVidia and ATI cards for the Mac support dual monitors. Whatever card you get, make sure it supports a 'true' dual monitor setup - not one that just mirrors the same image on two screens.

Or You can just buy one single monitor card. You already have one in Your computer...

I've been running a dual monitor setup since I got out of school. It's addicting; once you've gone dual, you won't want to go back. Trust me. Because of my setup (Quicksilver g4 867 w/ Digi001) I opted to spend money on a dual-monitor card (ATi Radeon 9000 Pro) so that the PCI bus was not being shared. The 001 likes its bandwidth, apparently.

I'm running a g4 12" laptop 1 gig and taking the mini dvi out to adc and running a cheap 19" flat screen off it. no card, just the adapter that came with the laptop. The 12" is fine for the mix page, and the 19" is great for the edit page. You're right once you get used to it, the dual screen is indispensible.
