Default Double Monitor Question

I have a dell 17 in and im looking to purchase one more, probably the same 17 in but its said that its analog only. I am assuming that is hook up so in order to hook 2 monitors up i would need 2 seperate graphics cards running at the same time am i right? and is that easy to setup having one monitor in one card and one monitor in the other card?

Default Re: Double Monitor Question

A lot of graphics cards have two outputs to run two monitors off one card. The majority of those have one analog and one digitial out. Check what your dell has. If it is using the onboard graphics, you will likely need a video card with two ports. If you aready have a video card in the Dell, check to see what outputs it has, it may just be a simple case of plugging in a second monitor with a digital connector.
