Two Monitors
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. Last edited by Jimbo; 30 April 2007 at 16:04. |

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.
