Shuttle nforce2 MN31N dual vga any experience?

[eyeguy]

I was wondering if this is the MOBO in the HP d325 (dual vga out) and if anyone has experience with it? $85 at newegg.... to make a dual monitor office computer for cheap (cheaper than 2 video cards)

thanks

I put one together for a friend about a month ago. nice board for the price. Even has firewire. The one I got didn't include the header though. He doesn't run dual monitors though. So no comment on that. I think it is a nice board for the $$.

eyeguy, I asked the same question a few nights ago. Another member who had set up a system with this board told me that, yes, indeed, this board can run dual monitors at the same time. he only had 2D experience with it though, so he wasn't sure how 3D (gaming) performace of the IGP would be compared to single monitor mode.

hope this helps

I know that this will not be a top gamer, but as a cheap dual monitor office solution, it should work well. The reviews say the stability is good. For an office, 2 15" lcds are better than one 17", and the same price. My other nforce boards are rock solid.

i've had 2 of them. great boards.


none of tehm come with firewire headers. i have firewire on my case front panel and hooked it up and it works great.


the sound is very good too.
