thingsforjason Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 generally if you put in a video card that overrides your onboard card...generally. so you wouldn't be able to setup dual monitors that way. you'd need another pci graphics card...or an agp card with dual monitor output. that's the way to go, i think. oh, and by the way, that tnt2 m64 card sucks. :) you might just want to get a new card. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathLace Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Enable both video cards, hook up both monitors, and do that thing in the display > settings section to enable both (extend my windows desktop onto this monitor) or something like that. This should work, did for me when I used dual monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ck2k01 Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 lol thingforjason, but im cheap as hell and poor :). so cheap + poor = tnt2 m64 (but its the pro edition :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingsforjason Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 alright so find yourself a 2-4mb pci video card...doesn't even need to have 3d acceleration on it really...and use that as your secondary card. maybe you could sell some of those extra monitors you have and buy a decent video card. :D just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
