Seeing posts about multiple monitors recently and I'm thinking of treating myself to a nice shine new one, and running the old one as a 2nd display... However my mobo might not be up to it - I would have to use a (gasp!) PCI graphics card for the exising monitor - 1280x1024 while the on-board copes with the new one (er, 1920x1080 which I think the mobo will cope with... Intel chipsset)

(didn't come with the nice photo though )-;Mobo just has a single 32-bit PCI slot. I have an nvidia riva-128 PCI card which I used in my last system without any real issues.
I suspect I'm simply barking up the wrong tree trying to mix 2 different graphics systems (on-board + PCI) but it's not something I've ever looked into..
I suspect my 1.6GHz Atoms may struggle though! Cheers, Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
