| 1298084 | 2012-08-31 07:47:00 | I am wondering what I would need to add a second monitor to my current setup. Currently got a 17 inch philips lcd. Have Windows 7 installed. Any thoughts? |

| 1298087 | 2012-08-31 09:04:00 | A graphics card with 2 monitor ports I use a cheap Asus one and have one monitor plugged into VGA and the other into the DVI port. I use this card here (www.ascent.co.nz) |

Its got DVI,HDMI and VGA. |
