Dual Monitor Setup

[Sam25]

Can I get dual monitor display with a GeForce 9500gt? How to go about the setup process? These are my PC specs:

Intel C2D Wolfdale E7200 @2.53GHz
2GB DDR2
ASUS P5K-VM Mobo
Sparkle GeForce 9500gt (512 MB)
320GB WD HDD
500 W PSU

I'm presently using a 20" LCD but I want hook up another 17" monitor that I have.

Shut off system
connect monitors
reboot

in display settings:
settings tab
advance button
tab showing video card
select how you want the monitors to act. (mirrored, streached desktop, dual view, ect)

You can then click and drag the image representing each monitor to fit your setup. Say you have one display mounted above the other. Then you can drag that icon over the other display icon. This then allwos you to move the mouse up to get to the other screen rather then to the side.

When you first start up after connecting both monitors, you'll need to open Display Properties, click the Settings tab, select the second monitor, and check the box for "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor."

Thanks a lot for the help! I'll be making a note of the steps and trying it out.
