Just ordered a 19in flatty. And if I like it I'm going to order another one. So what do I need to go dually? Any extra parts or software?
whats your gfx card? I got dual monitors on my FX 5500. If you have a DVI and VGA port, you can get a DVI/VGA converter, like i did. Windows should be able to detect it, if your gfx card can handle it...
If you have a card that has dual slots for a regular monitor cable then you need not buy anything. If you have a monitor and GFX card that support composite in/out then you will need the lil yellow cable like you find running into your VCR, male on both ends... if you have a card that goes from composite to your monitor that supports S/Video or opposite you will need S/Video to composite convertor and maybe an extention so longer composite male male cables... but untill you tell us what slots you got on your card/monitor then we can't help too awful much. for the setup in the OS interface, if you are running windows, you will right click your desktop and go to properties>settings(tab) then you will see "Display:" with a bar under it... now you select secondary and the rest is pretty self explanitory... hope that helps a bit.
Right now it's integrated. But I'm not planning on going dually until I get my new rig which will have a 7800gt.
It will be no problem with a 7800GT, the 7800 has two DVI ports and depending on the monitors you buy you should get a DVI cable with the monitors. All you have to do is connect them to the ports and you will be good to go. If your monitors are VGA you will need to buy a DVI to VGA adapter http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814999902 just in case - DVI is the white plug, VGA is the blue.
