It probably can but I hve no real idea, it'd be best to ask a mac
vendor.

Yes.

Well if you don't have one already, you need a special monitor adaptor
which virtually any mac dealer will sell you for about a tenner and then
you will need a graphics card to attatch the other monitor (and possibly
another adaptor, some cards however have PC style ports anyway) you can
then have a workspace that spans both monitors, the mac will support
upto 4 at a time.  Choose whichever video card takes your fancy, I use a
Matrox Millenium which seems a pretty reasonable card to me.
