alright thanks, i'll check out that forum.. see if maybe they can give me an answer?

well, im not really running that combo since im using the crt monitor with a dvi>vga adaptor... i just dont get why the lcd wont work at all on either the vga or the dvi>vga adaptor...

well, for the secondary monitor the adapter is radeon x800 xt secondary... monitor is default.. for the primary monitor it shows.. plug and play monitor... x800 xt for the adapter... they are both set at 96 DPI if that matters or would affect anything?

what do you mean by add the lcd? add it where? whenever i plug in the lcd the crt stops working until the lcd is unplugged... if i click on the secondary monitor (which is grayed out in the display panel) and click advanced then monitors it just says 'Default monitor' and I can't click...

set the resolution to 800x600 refresh rate at 60 and switched.. didn't work... set the resolution to 1024x768 same refresh rate and that didn't work either (thats the lcds native resolution) I just dont understand how the lcd works perfectly fine on this other computer but wont work at all...

bump.. still cant get this monitor to work, however i have downloaded ultramon... is there someway to completely disable the second monitor while i plug in the lcd? so it wont turn off the crt?

bump

when I hook up both monitors at the same time (my ultimate goal, for dual monitors) it wont let the CRT turn on at all.. so neither monitor works when I have them both hooked up.. and no, unfortunately I dont have another graphics card to put in this computer right now... im just...

well, currently im using a 17'' crt on a dvi>vga adaptor.. but im not including this in getting the lcd to work... i've tried the lcd on both the dvi port and the vga port (the dvi being used with a dvi>vga adaptor) it has a dvi and a vga output

right, its vga... when i boot up it does absolutely nothing.. shows absolutely nothing.. all it does is display its 'No Signal' message...

alright, so here is my current situation... i have this old viewsonic viewpanel vg150... when i plug it into my 700mhz celeron running win2k server with an onboard graphics card it works great... but when I plug it into my new computer p4 3.2ghz xp home, x800 xt it wont work at all...

leadtek and eVGA are options, but i have no clue who makes good GT's.. i'd seen some benches of the gt ultra and it seemed like albatron wasn't too bad.. but.. heh, thats why im here :)

well, I was just taking a guess at how much power I would need since I honestly had no idea... I would have a 160 gig hard drive and a 60 gig hard drive in the computer... a dual layered dvd burner as well as a regular dvd-rom drive... other than that... just needs to power those 2 hard...

Okay.. the budget is about $1200... heres what I got.. Lian-li pc-65b - $118 Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR - $89.50 Albatron 6800 GT - $406 Antec TRUE 550 - $98 Athlon 64 3200+ (512kb l2 cache) - $191 OCZ Performance series 1gb pc-3200 - $200 EMU 0404 soundcard - $100 okay all that adds up...

what do you consider too hot, to the point where it slows down?
