Two Monitors

Jimbo · 30 April 2007, 15:30

Hi There

Im thinking of running Two Lcd screens on my PC. One with my XP desktop and the other with Winuae Working. My graphics card only has a VGA slot and a DVI slot. Can I just get a VGA to DVI converter and run one into my VGA slot and Winuae on the DVI side?

Many Thanks

But you can't run both monitors at the same time unless you have a Dual Head graphics card, like the Matrox G550. Do you intend this?

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply. yes I wanted to run them both at the same time. Bugger might have to get a new graphics card then

I only run a ATI 9200 on the main Pc as new gaming is done on consoles so never really need a good card.

EDIT

Seems you can run dual screens at the same time with the 9200.

Edit: Good news, so you bought the right card ages ago.

I'm pretty sure you can run two at the same time.

EDIT: You've realised you can

Yeah I had a look around. Thanks for all the help. Also the funny thing is when you search for the 9200 it always shows the 128mb version. The one I have is the 256mb version. Seems not many were made I suppose.
