How do I run dual monitors off single video card??

[jj1492]

I'm running Win98, was looking at a GEforce 2. just wondering what I need to do to run two monitors off of the one card.

The card needs dual video outs (two physical VGA ports in the back), which are only available on certain Geforce 2 MX's - if the card you're looking at has this, then all you need (other than the card obviously)is two monitors and up to date drivers.

Also available on G450.

You can't run dual monitors off a single card.

Use a simple 4MB PCI if you really need it.

Geez. Two examples are given that DO run two monitors off one card (and they didn't even mention the G400), and you have the balls to say it can't be done. Wow. Certain cards do. Certain cards don't.

BTW, by G450 and G400, we mean specific models of Matrox cards.

also the Radeon VE as well as a lot of highend cards such as the wildcat

Yes that is true, unless you have dual VGA ports (example G400/450 ? GeForce MX).

<< and they didn't even mention the G400 >>

Yes, though the G450 was. I think you misunderstood what he meant DesignDawg. This is obvious because of the PCI card he mentioned.
