Either have 2 graphics cards installed or use one of those Matrox splitter thingies.

This although you are limited to 1280x1024 on each screen so a PCI card running otht he 17inch screen and the 7900 running the widescreen would probably be better.

can i get a pci -e gfx card and run this in the lower slot?

Yea, or a pci card

Am I best to get another NV card ?
can you run an ati card and nv card sise by side?

 

[welshtom]

yea, they should run side by side.

I'd get a cheap PCI card, an old school one for a few quid off ebay. Be enough to run normal windows in and general apps etc

I'd get a PCI-E with the DVI, then you can always use the PC at full speed (2d + 2 monitors) if you sell or replace your main card. I use a x300se for a backup and testing rigs, I paid £22 on you know where.

I'm stuck...

How can I have a game on my widescreen and the internet on another screen.

Currently playing with two monitors my ws and 17" and the only option is to clone,or span.

How do I drive to monitors individually?
I am still only using one gfx card.
