I want to run two monitors on the same machine, and I want to know if I can use my on-board video (which I'm currently using now) as monitor "1" and add a video card (PCI or AGP) and run that as monitor "2". Is this possible and relatively easy? I know XP can handle it, and I know how to configure them once they might be both running together, but I just want to know if the hardware issue will work.|||Yes. It will show up on the windows display screen. Using more than 2 cards, however can cause some issues that need specialized drivers.
Long story short, just fully install both cards and go to the display properties screen.
If they are nvidia cards, you can use nview for a superior multi monitor setup.|||If you have an Intel Graphics card or Nvidia card you already have the cabability to do this already. Unless you have a really old system. :)
Just attach another monitor and enable the second monitor with display properties or the display switching toggle key ... Fn + F8 or something similar.
There are several modes you can do. Extended Desktop, which makes the display twice as large, dual display which is the same content on both displays. You need to decide how you want your display to look.
But if you have a dual display device already, I do not recommend trying to add another video card. You probably already have the capability to do have two displays already if your system is younger than 2 years old.|||Wow Whats wrong with these people, no you can't use the onboard video, since the motherboard can only output video to either the onboard video or the dedicated graphics chip (video card) Your only option is to get a video card that has that capabilities and do that. Dont listen to these people it will not work.|||You can use the soft wear and hard wear are available in the market|||I agree... unless you have a dual output video card its one or the other..
