Hello I was wondering how I could add a second monitor to my
Quicksilver. I have the original card in there right now and it is
connected to a Viewsonic monitor via the dvi connector but I wanted to
know what other card I could put into the next slot underneath it to add
a second monitor. Does anyone have anything like this that they have
working and if so can you provide info as far as How much your setup ran
you for example.
(THis is merely an example I know it is not accurate)
Quicksiler 1.XXX ghz
2 gig ram
GeForce4 MX 32 MB SLOT-1=25 dollars
Geforce4 MX 32 MB SLOT-2=25 dollars
What other port does the current video card have? A lot of cards have
dual outputs that can be used to drive two monitors.
If it doesn't have two ports or one port isn't viable (ADC if you don't
want to buy an ADC monitor) you should consider getting an AGP video
card with two ports. One two port AGC is more effective than using one
AGP and one PCI video cards.
I am hoping that this will give me an idea of how much it is going to
cost me to add a monitor and what kind of cards will work in the second,
PCI??? sot. Thanks in advance.
A two port AGP video card will cost yo about $25-50 on e-bay. The
monitor will depend on what you want.
Geeks <http://www.geeks.com> usually have pretty good prices on LCD
monitors. They carry new and refurbished. Right now they seem to have
a rather limited selection but that could change anytime.
