    Default Dual monitor question.

    I am in the process of getting a new PC and it will be running this card -1GB RADEON HD 4650 PCI-E 2.0, the card has one vga and one dvi-ic connector on it.
    Was just wondering if I can run dual monitors from it. One from the VGA connector and another from the dvi-i connector. The second monitor I am looking at does not have a dvi input so was thinking maybe a dvi to vga lead would get round this.

    Is this right or?

    Cheers mate, never gave it a thought to be honest but if you say that works then cool, will only really use dual screens for lightroom and Photoshop to be honest.

    Cheers

    I'd also check what options come with the graphic cards drivers. My cards are both Nvidea ones and I use two monitors off one card; one DVI out to monitor1 and vga to monitor2. I can just run the Nvidea desktop util and select what screens I want to use and which is primary and which is secondary etc. Then I just drag the window I want on the second monitor across to it.
