Simple question.. i have a PNY GF3Ti200 video card.. it has one vga, one dvi out and one tv out, my question is this

-Can i use the dvi out AND the vga out at the SAME time??.. i was told yes from some people, no from others.. i wanna do a dual monitor set up but dont wanna have to go buy a pci video card.. would rather just buy a dvi to vga adapter.. Thanks!

I do not know of any DVI switches, and in fact I would not recommend one. I do not recommend hot swapping (unplugging) any digital connection. It is best to turn the computer and monitor off prior to unplugging or switching the monitor.
 
I believe you can. But it isn't a Dual Head card, so i'm betting the best you're gonna get is a clone of your main display. Try it and find out!
 
Sorry, not going to work. Do what I did - return the PNY and get an ATI Radeon8500LE from newegg.com - the ati's dual display support is fantastic.
