Installing second monitor

[Ankush09]

I want to put a second monitor on my computer. Anyone know a site or something that shows the steps?

its really simple, just take your second monitors crt plug, attach a crt to dvi adapter and then attach it to your card, then boot into windows, right click on the desktop-properties-settings, configure it in there

if you are doing it with a nvidia, use nview. I dont know what ATi's thing is though.

i dont have a second video card............ is there any other way to do it?

 

[SewerBeing]

that doesnt matter, your video has a crt out and a dvi out, which can be used to do dual monitors. Check google.

Just plug both in. It should run whatever is in the VGA connector. Then from there, set up the second montior by going to the desktop/properties/settings and set the display. It doesn't matter what card it is (nVidia nor ATI)... well, from experience.
