Ok, I know this may make some of you cringe. Bear with me.
I have a core2 duo machine here at work, currently on XP. They're updating it to 7 soon, supposedly. The graphics are on the mobo, and I have two monitors. One is on the VGA port, the other on the DVI port.
The two monitors are Hp Compaq LA1751g and LA1951g. Both are at 1280x1024. As the name suggests, I think one is 17inches and the other is 19....non wide screen format. I find myself wanting for more screen real estate.
I have a spare 1600x900 21" widescreen at home. Would it be possible to get a 3 way monitor set up going? Even if it's possible to rig it up, would it be far too ugly to have all these different sizes and resolutions frankenstien'd around my desk? Would this old work rig even be able to pull it off?
Keep in mind I'm looking at web pages, spreadsheets, and other office type docs. Nothing high speed here. No gaming.
