So I picked up a used LCD monitor that is the exact same brand and model as my existing LCD and wanted to do a dual/side-by-side monitor setup to expand my desktop. I have onboard video and an AGP slot on the board(This is a compaq EVO d510 SFF P4 2.4 GHz) so i figured i'd plug in an AGP card and the dual monitor would just work. But what it does is ignores the onboard video! I can't find anything in the bios to use both or set a primary. Does this mean I'm forced to plug in a PCI card that natively supports dual head? I don't want to spend much money, preferrably no more than 60 or so. If possible I'd like a PCI video card. I might try to find a cheapo PCI card and use it in conjunction with AGP and allow it to ignore the onboard. If i try this i'll let you know what's going on.
thanks for any help.
