Using a 2nd monitor with Dell Inspiron 6000??

[JackOfSpeed]

Any of you folks know how to plug a monitor into an Inspiron 6000 and use both screens simultaneously? I assumed all that had to be done was plugging it in. Does the computer need to be off when this occurs?

2nd quick question. Should a technical noob like me be nervous at all about installing a memory upgrade? just bought one from Kingston, and while I have found instructions and glanced at them, I'm worried about screwing things up. Should I find someone who knows what they're doing to install my memory?
