It would be advisable, but from what I have gathered, not always necessary.
You will know if your card is overheating; you'll experience video oddities
before anything really blows up or melts down. That will be your cue to
improve cooling.

I really cannot say. I have no GeForce2 MX, be it single or dual display.
Maybe someone who has tried a GeForce2 MX dual head setup can give you a
