How do i go about using a dual monitor setup?

[Jay59express]

I have a herc 3d prophet 2 gts, is dual monitors available with this card? If so, how do i run it? what do i need (besides another monitor )

 

[BurnItDwn]

i've run dual monitors for a couple years now ...

what i have done always is use 2 seperate video cards .. one for each monitor ...

i would think the hercules card comes with dual outputs .... but if not just pick up a cheap PCI video card ... and plug another monitor into that ...

Is there specific software to do this?

Does anyone know if the S3 Virge cards are supported for dual monitor under Win2k? I know that when Win2k was released there was no support but that might have been resolved. Anyone have a list of dual supported video cards under Win2k?

Thanks,

ERJ

You need Windows 98 or 2000, and Me probably does it too. It's done by the OS so you need software.

And it's more hit and miss. It depends on the drivers if a card works, I've used a couple cards not on the supported list so it's probably moore about finding out if a card is for sure not supproted than if it is supported. Shoddy drivers will cause funky stuff...
