I currently have a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra 128 mb graphics card and want to setup dual monitors. I'm getting a second monitor soon and was wondering if I needed any kind of adapters or anything to have this done. Currently, I have an HP LCD monitor (about a couple years old) and I'm most likely getting a new Dell monitor. Thanks for any help.
 
This is what's on the card: DVI-out, 15-pin VGA, and S-Video out.

I'm currently using the 15-pin VGA, so is the DVI-out capable of a 2nd monitor? And does this mean I'll need an adapter for a DVI-out to 15-pin VGA? Thanks
 
Thats what i am running my second monitor out of. To set up dual screens go to the display setting in the control panel. After that, you will most likely want to choose extend my windows desktop and click ok. Anyway, the process is realatively easy, just make sure your second monitor i(port-dvi in your case) isn't disabled. It took me a couple of days to figure out why my 2nd screen was booting up black!!!
 
make sure u get a monitor that uses D-Sub or at least u have an adapater for a DVI monitor.
