Dual Monitors on 1 Graphics Card

    Hi,

    My graphics card has a VGA input and a DVI input. I have two LCD monitors (both VGA) and I want to run one as an extended desktop. Can I get a VGA-DVI converter and run VGA and DVI at the same time off the one card or will I need a second gpu?

    Thanks,
    Krsnik

    You can just get the converter and run them both. It works fine.
    Just pop into your display settings, select the 2nd monitor and tick the box to entend your desktop onto the screen.

    1 more thing, can a DB-9 port be used for a vga monitor? Is there a F/F converter for that?
