Hi, I have a geforce 8400 low profile video card. When I bought it, it had the full profile bracket on it, and it had the dvi and standard vga out. When you run it with the low profile bracket, it only has dvi out and an svideo out.

I'd like to add a second monitor for 'extended' desktop - NOT mirroring. What are my options?

Thanks for something clear and concise.

get a 2nd low profile bracket with vga out mounting and re-connect the vga socket to the card. most htpc low profile cards come with one standard bracket or 2 half sized brackets. the vga socket wires are supposed to be long enough to reach the card pins from the next slot over.
