Setting Up Dual Monitors

[Wayne Wengert]

I am running WinXP Pro and currently have a nVidia GeForce 6600 (256) video
card driving a 20" flat panel monitor. I want to add a second monitor and
since I can't add a second 6600 I am thinking of adding a GeForce 7950GT
(PCI slot) to drive the second monitor. Any comments on that choice - other
suggestions?

I just found out that the GeForce 6600 is available with a PCI interface so
would I be better off adding that to the system which already has a GeForce
6600 AGP card?

Be sure not to confuse PCI with PCI-Express. PCI-Express is basically a
replacement for AGP and is rarely found on the same motherboard as AGP.
You're probably better off getting a video card with Dual Head support. You
can find them with either 2 VGA ports, 2 DVI ports, or like my 6600GT at
home, with a 1 VGA, and 1 DVI port.
