Any Help will be appreciated

Winamp AVS has a (formerly experimental) "Overlay-mode" when running it in a window or fullscreen which basically sends your AVS-goodness to a monitor specified in you displaydriver configuration.
If you have ever managed to get Media Player to maximize the movie you watch to the TV-out even though the MediaPlayer-window isn't fullscreen on your monitor you're on the right track.. and with a recent ATI- or nVidia-card this isn't that hard (from what I've experienced, the geForce-solution seems a bit easier to control)
So basically any vis'plugin or application that can use "overlay video mirroring" as I think it's called and a graphicscard that supports that same functionality you can do this...

Can you do that on a laptop with a built in video card or do you need a external video card to have it work on a latop? Is Winamp better than Soique or the other way around? I tried Winamp and It seems to be running slow or not at all.
Thank for the help.

Not sure that there are any laptops with dual monitor support... usually they just come with a VGA-monitor connector and that one either mirrors the current desktop or takes over as primary monitor when the TFT/LCD is deactivated... I would guess the answer is no but I'm not sure..
With my new PC I can achieve this kind of thing with integrated video alone(motherboard has both VGA and S-video out and it is geForce-based :)

If the second display is a monitor, your videocard has to have duel heads. (Haven't seen any laptops that come with those). If the second display has s-video in, then that's easier because a lot of laptops now come with s-video out. Now there is a Winamp 2.8 plugin called Milkdrop @ www.geisswerks.com that supports duel screens. It even lets you control visulizations on one screen and display them on another. Worked great for me...
