| 251645 | 2004-07-12 03:58:00 | Can someone point me to a site or article on setting up dual display, my graphics card is nVidia GeForce FX 5200. (I am not sure if it can be done with this card?) Thanks Terry |

Does one of your displays have a DVI input? If not you need a DVI to VGA conversion cable (from Dick Smith etc) to connect the second display. Set it up for Windows from Control Panel - Display - Settings. Make the second display adapter active, and select "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" Set the resolution and colour depth to you needs. |

| 251648 | 2004-07-12 06:49:00 | The cable you need is this one: www.dse.co.nz Thats assuming your cards DVI output is DVI-I (the connector has both analogue and digital signals), and not DVI-D (the connector only has digital signals). You need DVI-I for the second monitor. The graphics card manual should tell you this. Its easy to do. |
