Question for the techies

What's it take to run dual monitors? I've got an extra video card can I just throw that it in the box and be good to go?

Not quite that simple. It takes special software configuration as well.

I'd suggest you go by a dual monitor card and take it from there.

If you bought a new video card it should have two dvi or vga ports on the back [or one vga, one dvi]. I don't think you can get a new video card w/o two ports.

most new video cards have two ports... just plug them in and you should be good to go.

Yeah, this is true. What kind of card did you get?

yea, just use the vga port for one monitor, then the dvi one for another, use drivers software to configure stuff... pretty easy to set up
