Nvidia Ti4200 dual monitors?

[rev_maynard3]

Hey all --

I have a Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200 that's a couple years old -- it has one
analog and one DVI connector on the back. I'd like to run two
monitors, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to only get an
additional monitor, or if I need a new vid card... so, if I get a DVI
monitor, can I hook it up to the currently unused DVI connector and
stretch my desktop across two monitors?

Thanks!

Yes, in fact you can get a DVI to HD15 adapter and run 2 analog
monitors. I did it for a year with a Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4200 card and
now with a 5900.
