My GF4 MX 460 has both Analogue and DVI outputs (plus video in/out). I run dual LCD monitors (1 DVI, 1 Analogue). You will probably need a second PCI video card, such as a cheap GF 2 MX400 for the second monitor. Cheap CRT monitors are unlikely to accept DVI input even if your 440 card has it, without a DVI to VGA adapter. DVI sockets are a bit larger than standard monitor sockets and more rectangular as a guide. If your video card has 2 monitor plugs then OK. Looking on Google, I only see them with one plus the TV out socket. There could be many versions though. |
