They inherently have on board video cards but if you open the case, there is a PCI slot for "expansion." Now, if you had a video splitter dongle, that may be enough to get you dual monitors but your not going to get more then two very basic screens ... definitely no 3d aps.

Narrowing down what you have for a thin client as dude above me said would be a start. If you have a 5710 your going to be out of luck because they suck all around. 5720's and 5730's aren't bad as they come with a better RAM drive size, better onboard video, and overall mobo improvements. If you are running one of their linox varients, i havnt ever used them personally so i cant really say what they are capable of.
