What should I do with this G450 dual head card?

[notfred]

Ok, I wanted to set up dual monitors here, and I was going to get a cheap PCI card to hook up asecond monitor. A friend of mine had a 16mb Matrox G450 dual head card that he didn't need, so he gave it to me.

Now that I got the card here, I don't really know if I have room for a second monitor on this desk, and even if I do, it seems like a waste to use the dual card for jsut one monitor.

my main vid card is a radeon 64DDR VIVO (agp).

Any creative suggstions for something to do with this card? (no "give it to me" does not count)

sell it

 

[Geekbabe]

how much do you want for it?

 

[toph99]

give it to me

 

[notfred]

hmm, I'd feel kinda bad selling it, since it was given to me. I dunno, maybe I'll consider it if no one can think of a creative use for it....

ohhh, you wanted creative? got any guns in the house? how about some gasoline?

I'd build a cheap system around it. Always good to have another box around.

Then again, I'm a computer nerd.

You could trade it to me for a 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 pci I have here....

Give it to my mailbox. I'm sure it will bring him endless hours of joy!

Maybe you could try to get a smaller 2nd monitor that will fit on your desk or a flat panel?

Give it to me! I'll write you a song if you do!

Seriously, though, get flat panels, or a bigger desk. Dual monitors are cool. I'd have a dual setup (with my radeon ve) if it weren't for the fact that my parents want to use my linux box as a second machine for web browsing while i'm on this one.

This is my problem. Every time I have a spare piece of hardware (what do I do with this extra floppy drive?) lying around, this is my solution. That's how I wound up with eight PC's in my house. It's also how I wound up with eight motorcycles.
