One of the IT techies
I've been out the IT game for 5 years but we used to just put another video card in and pair them and plug the two monitors in - one on each card and all worked nicely.
Had to be same video card as far as i remember. It was all corporate Compaq stuff so was likely to be same vid card anyway.
But for home set up two monitors i was wondering
a) if my graphics card is on the montherboards what are the options (work pc i could switch out with home)
b) do i have to use the same second graphics card that is in my pc if there is already one there to get a two monitor set up
c) is there are graphics card (cheap) with two vga outs. This will be for using Sonar (music writing software)
d) Are there an monitors which do the spanning when linked?
Or is there an solution i haven't thought of that you would recommend?
All help suggestions welcomed
Thanks in advance
