Need help to setup dual monitor on Geforce3 Ti 500

[Twinhead]

I currently using Geforce3 Ti 500 video card and Windows XP.
I am not sure if this video card supports dual monitor setup.
Beside driver, anything I need to install as well?

I am not sure if this video card supports dual monitor setup.

If it has connectors for more than one monitor then it probably supports them. As far as the setup goes, I would use UltraMon. It works great for me.

Thanks for the info CubicZirconia.

Incorrect, The GF3 is not a dual head card....period. If it has 2 connectors(DVI + VGA) you can use both...just not at the same time, one or the other.

rbV5, totally agree, GF3 cards only have 1 RAMDAC and as such can't send signals to 2 devices at the same time (certainly at different refresh rates and resolutions), you may be able to use DVI and CRT if you are lucky, but dual CRT is a no no I'm afraid, Radeons with 2 ports often allow dual monitor and GF4 cards certainly do (dual RAMDACs are standard on ALMOST every GF4 card).

With the GF3 cards its one or the other...no lucky about it, it will not display on 2 monitors at once DFP, CRT or whatever combo you want.

I have a GF3( using a DVI to VGA Converter ) and I could get both monitors to display an image but the image was the same on both monitors. No real function of that so I had to put in a PCI Video card to set different resoultion and refresh rate..

Exactly; some people term this as multi-monitor clone, but in actuality one can use either to display the same image.

It doesn't do Windows DualView Extended Desktop or Horizontal/Vertical Span.
