One system with two Monitors

[Davids]

How can I connect two monitors on my system, I got PIII processor, Asus V3000 and Riva TNT2 32mb graphic cards.

Windows 98 offers a two-monitor feature that lets you simply add a second monitor card, then attach two monitors to the PC.

That approach has some limitations, however. It uses a lot of the PC's processing power, so it noticeably slows down the computer. And some applications, like DVD or certain graphics programs, don't split well over two monitors.

Here's another answer. Check out the new Matrox Millennium G400 card. For about the same price as a good graphics adapter card, you can buy this DualHead display and TV output card. With it you can hook up your computer to a pair of monitors, LCD projectors, TV sets or flat-panel monitors.

Better yet, since Matrox puts its own graphic accelerator magic into the card, you can run two monitors without slowing down the PC. The graphics card is adaptable to many tasks. One person can be watching a DVD movie, while the other is composing an e-mail message. Or, your kids may ask to borrow it and prove to you that they can watch a movie and do homework at the same time. In fact, the graphics card is so flexible you can even configure it to run a DVD display split between both screens.

You could just use a (Y) connector i believe but as stated obve will probobly slow down puter.

Hello,

I am currently running two monitors on my PC. I used a Matrox Millenuim G550 and it works perfectly. You can get this AGP graphics card on the matrox website, wich is www.matrox.com. (http://www.matrox.com.) You get all the neccery software to run it properly under most OS's. (Operating Systems).

It is really cool.

Greetings PcFreak.

There are several manufacturers of dual head video cards. Mine is ATI Radeon VE. I am pleased with it. I don't do games, thus have not pushed it to find what it's limitations might be. Check out some review sites for info re game cards, as mine was not rated highly for gamers, but it was cheap, and does the job for me.
