dual monitors?

[pompalomp]

Hi, i have 2 monitors from my old pc, and as i am going to build a new one with the specs below, i was thinking if i could run 2 monitors. If anyone can see any issues please tell me. Also do the monitors have to be the same make?

My specs;
Corsair 520w
BFG 320gb 8800gts
antec nine hundred
hitach 320gb
e6550
crucial ballistix pc2 6400
Asus p5k-e wifi
Logitech S220 2.1 Speaker System Black 17W RMS
Samsung SH-S203/BEBN 20x DVD±R
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bit OEM (DVD)
Tuniq tower 120

thanks

You don't need anything special, just connect both monitors to the 8800GTS, boot, configure heads to your liking.

The GFX card has two DVI ports. If you have DVI monitors (or adapters) you'll be fine.

The monitors don't have to be the same make at all. It just looks nicer if they are

I know this sounds a bit pathetic but I'm a first time builder so ha s anyone got a guide the the subject above

Just right click on the desktop, go to properties, click on the second monitor, then enable and set the resolution for it. There's nothing to it really.

Depends on which OS you're using but it's all fairly similar. This assumes you have a working PC with one monitor and all the drivers etc installed.

Plug in second monitor

Power on

Right click desktop

Properties

Settings

You'll have a screen with a picture of your current monitor (1) and a hazed picture of your secondary monitor (2).

Choose how you want it to work. Split across the two, seperate items on each desktop and so on.

If you need pics, as much as it pains me to say - use Microsoft's guide - http://www.microsoft.com/athome/more...omonitors.mspx
