TurboCache/HyperMemory Dual-Display

I'm just wondering if TurboCache or HyperMemory allows one to use the onboard VGA connector as a second-display? There's a ThinkCentre that requires an add-on card for dual-display capability and it's layout makes it difficult to achieve this any other way.

TurboCache is nVidia's technology, HyperMemory is used by AMD/ATI. Basically they allow the video card to "steal" some of the system memory to help with the graphics display.
Generally, you can't use both the onboard & an AGP or PCI-express card, but you *may* be able to use the onboard with a standard PCI card. Or you could just get a PCI-express card that has two VGA outs.

Like I said, you *should* be able to use the onboard VGA along with a standard PCI video card. But it has nothing to do with TurboCache or HyperMemory.
