Can I connect 2 x Nokia 5110 LCD in SPI at the same time?

Hello guys, I am new here. My name is Melgior and I have little expericience with the Arduino 328 duemilanove and C++.

I have already one 5110 LCD connected to the arduino in SPI serial mode and got it working.
Is it possible to hook anoter one up and use them at the same time? I heard about the CS (chip select).

I have the following pins on the lcd:
8 LED
7 SCLK
6 DN(MOSI)
5 D/C
4 RST
3 SCE
2 GND
1 VCC

Do I need to connect all the wires parallel to the second LCD except the SCE (CS chip select) and connect this pin to another digital pin on the Arduino and change this pin in the code?

That's exactly what you need to do. Just beware that the backlight will fry if you give it more than 3.3v, and that if you connect both backlights all the time, they will be on and drawing power even if they are not being used.
