No Dual monitor

[TurboMike]

I have a AIT AIW Radeon 7500 and Gigabyte GA-7VKML. I use the ATI card for my video instead of the video on my motherboard but I'd like to dual monitor by hooking one monitor to my onboard and one monitor to my ATI card. It won't let me do it. I can hook a TV to the ATI card and a monitor to the onboard video and it works, but not with a monitor. Any ideas?

Can't be done. Get a videocard with dual-outs

Could I get a PCI one outlet?

yeah, that works too. I used to have a setup like that. I wouldn't really recommend it though. PCI is pretty low bandwidth for graphics. Even in windows.

True, but it's fine if you're not playing games, watching video, rendering, etc. I mentioned in another thread that we power a lot of dual/tripple monitor solutions in our offices using some ancient PCI Matrox video cards we salvaged out of 7-8 year old Dells. So if all you're doing is basic applications, PCI is fine
