Further, can I mix one standard video I/F (got an old 15" Dell monitor) with a USB monitor and get the same drag-and-drop-from-one-screen-to-another feature? Of course, I just noticed on my new moderne Dell, there's no video jack. It's all USB. What I was thinking was to give my son, who's got the 15" flat screen, my 19" flat screen, and combine the new wide screen with the 15". Any experience with this anybody?

But the one I've got now is USB and the one I'm going to get is likely USB, too. Can I just plug them both into USB ports or do I need a video card with two USB ports?
