Dual video MoBos and cards
Been looking at µATX and graphics cards recently and yesterday found
something that made me wonder about boards with D-SUB and DVI outputs. I'd always assumed that it was possible to run 2 monitors from such boards, then found a board where a spec. mentioned nVidia's nView allowing the use of 2 monitors. The other boards don't mention this and I could find nothing of use via Google. Does anyone know, please, if these 'double'-output boards can run 2 monitors? If not, I'll have to start again :-( Thanks, Peter. -- Peter. If you can do it today, you didn't put off enough yesterday. |

I'd always assumed that it was possible to run 2 monitors from such boards, I guess assuming that is okay. then found a board where a spec. mentioned nVidia's nView allowing the use of 2 monitors. Sets up just fine from within Windows XP display settings. The other boards don't mention this and I could find nothing of use via Google. Assuming you're talking about common, modern ATI or NVIDIA video cards. If they have either one VGA plus one DVI output, or two DVI outputs, given at least one DVI-VGA adapter, you can run two monitors set up from Windows XP display properties. Does anyone know, please, if these 'double'-output boards can run 2 monitors? Would be a lot easier if you would just specify a video card. If not, I'll have to start again :-( Start your computer again? Restart your browser? Thanks, Peter. |
