[McBunny]

new gaphics card with propper dual head output that way you can run different resolutions on teh screens and you will need that

something like that

but with a 2.8 ghz cpu, could i use the s-video port, might not be a good resolution as dvi or vga right???

the svideo will be bloody nasty !!

but all depends on your budget

I used to use a splitter to run a 21" monitor and a 37" plasma.. worked fine !

 

[cooks189]

Ye i thought so, was it a clear resolution mate???

 

[McBunny]

but kdf they use 2 different reolutions so ones going to be looking s**t lol with a plasma its easier as most run 1024x768

 

[KDF]

Im not saying your idea doesnt have merit dogmaul.. im just saying splitting the signal works fine without amplification. obviously I used 1024x768 although the 21" monitor could go up into the 2000's

Ye the picture was perfect on both monitors.

Take the computer to bits and work out whether you're running AGP or PCI-E bus, and get a card to run those. Believe me, you'll appreciate the difference as the windows will be properly scaled to the screens, rather than being out of shape.
