Hi,
I would like to have a monitor displaying the internet, and another monitor displaying my word document.
Although I have a big monitor, I find it very difficult flicking between two windows on one monitor or, looking at more than 1 open window at a time one one monitor, hence my desire for two monitors.
I have Windows Vista home premium, which i understand supports two monitors.
My computer has an integrated graphics card, and no other cards have ever been added so I presume there is a spare slot.
A local supplier (NRG computing in Stirling ), has quoted me £45 for an ASUS graphics card for two monitors, and £25 to fit it.
Unfortunately I am exceedingly hard up just now, and am wondering how hard it would be to install the card myself ?
Also there seems to be a few cheaper cards on ebay which support two monitors, however the "plugs/sockets/connections" seem to only have one "normal" socket for a monitor and a different (white) type. Am I looking at the right thing, and if so, how do you plug the second monitor in ( both monitors are CRT ) ?
I am not going to be playing any complex games on my PC, I just want something to plug two monitors into. Could I buy a suitable card cheaper than the £45 I have been quoted ?
Any advice will be most welcome.
thanks very much,
John
