Is it worth getting a second monitor for my computer?
I saw someone at work using two monitors at once and it looked really productive. Can a regular home computer support two monitors? What do I need — a special video card? Is it worth the cost and desk space? What would I actually use the second screen for at home?

I build computers for a living and can tell you that most of these problems come down to three things: not enough RAM, outdated drivers, or malware. Check those first before spending money on new hardware.
Honestly at some point a clean reinstall of Windows fixes more than any amount of tinkering. XP gets crufty after a couple years. Back up your files, find your product key, and do a fresh install. It'll feel like a brand new machine.
