DUAL monitors

modena · 01-20-2003, 08:53 PM

I have a ti 4600 agp vid card hooked up to my main monitor. I tried to add a Jaton video-88pci-32+ pci vid card and a second monitor. However, when I start up the computer like that, neither monitor brings up anything...what should I do? THANKS in ADVANCE!

What will this device do for me, and I got the dual monitors to work without that, what would be the advantage of using that thing?

what speedfreak posted is a dvi to vga pin converter. Good for those video cards with a dvi and vga port and wanting to use two vga supported monitors.

so i could use two monitors with only my geforce ti 4600 card, hooking one monitor up regularly and one monitor up using the dvi port and the dvi/vga converter?

or if the 2nd or 1st monitor had dvi inputs you dont need no stinkin adapter.

nice pics btw, speedy!

$8 shipped from Newegg.com

The product link goes to ATI, so it should be sound as a pound.

Not mine if you meant to think I took them, but, thanks.

Yes, that 4600 should have both ports as it should not differ from what is on the website.

but if you're still set on using the pci adapter, go to the bios setup and specify which vga adapter it should start off on (pci or agp)
