Hi,
I have a Celeron 2.53D / 1.25Gb Ram / 845GVSR machine with 15" LCD monitor. I dont have any other graphics card. I wish to use dual display on my computer. Is it possible using the current config or will i have to buy another graphics card ?
If i have to buy another graphics card, which card would be compatible with 845GVSR and would be cheap. I dont need heavy graphics for games or 3D modeling. I just need dual display for my work.

best way is to go to ebay and buy a Dual Head Matrox G400 or G450 card. They have two blue VGA outputs on. They both come in 16mb and 32mb versions. This needs AGP graphics card socket (2x or 4x or 8x). I am in UK, here I could easily get one for less than £10 GBP including shipping (less than 20 US Dollars)

There are plenty of cheap video cards available. Do you need analog or digital output? How much are you willing to spend?
