Hello everybody, Question, Ive been mucking around with Duel moniter setup for about 4 months now, and I dont have a video card that has two busses, is it possible to setup a second video card to support the second moniter, and if so, any special requirments?

Since you dont want to buy a video card with dual outputs, you can set up another monitor with a PCI video card. One thing i think of here is you will be paying almost the same price for a second video card as you would by buying a dual output video card and a dual output AGP video card would be faster than a PCI graphics card.

About 3/4 down on this page explains dual monitor setup.
