    Install a second video card to play games?

    In playing games, it is advised to disable dual-monitor support. But in a dual monitor set-up, if I install a second video card, would it still be necessary to disable the dual monitor support? ie, will a second video card driving the second monitor take some stress off the primary game...

    VGA to DVI connector to hook up an analog signal to an LCD's DVI port

    hey yoyo, Get a life and stop counting how many threads people post. It was entirely your choice to response to my 2 threads. As you don't own this forum - if I think it is helpful to post one or more threads, or to respond to others multiple threads - I will do so.

    ?Connect two old computers, with VGA only, to an LCD

    Wow - $595 - that's worth more than my 2 ancient computers combined! I am not looking to convert the VGA signal to DVI; but just a simple $10 converter to allow me to attach the VGA cable to the DVI port on the LCD? Will the DVI on the LCD understand the analog signal?

    ?Connect two old computers, with VGA only, to an LCD

    I have two old computers I want to hook up to a single LCD monitor. Unfortunately, the two computers only have VGA out. The LCD has 1 VGA in, and 1 DVI in. Is it possible to connect one of the VGA computers to the DVI port of the LCD, using for instance, a VGA to DVI converter? Thanks.

    uninstall_cds.exe?
