Hi all ,just found your site whilst doing a google search, must say i am impressed and hope to be a regular visitor in the coming months.I am trying to set up my PC {a Dell Dimension } with dual monitors,I have an old monitor from a previous system and thought this might do ,it would be used for displaying a site full time so i could browse on my main monitor it would not be used for games etc..
Problem 1 is the connections ,it looks like I would need a twin adapter to plug the monitor into the PC also the monitor connections and the PC port both seem to be male again i would need an adapter if such a thing is available .
Problem 2 a friend tells me windows xp will pick up the second monitor automatically and i wont need to do anything, but another friend says i will need a bigger memory card .
I would be obliged if someone could tell me if theis is possible with the old monitor and are there adapters available to sort out the connection problems . thanks in advance for your help Stevie
