Howdy,

We are currently trying to set up dual monitors for about 10 employees at work. All employees are using Dell Optiplex GX620 - All use onboard video ( Intel GMA 950 Chipset). I have been thinking of the *cheapest* way to do this.

The Dells we use are Desktop Cases (Small) so they only support Low Profile PCI-E and PCI cards. I have found the following :

ATI Radeon X300SE 128 MB PCI-E Card DVI Low Profile - £24

It has 1 DVI port.

My question is this, Can i use the onboard video & the above card together for dual monitor goodness!? I heard you can but i just wanted to check. Can i use Hydravision?

Your advices would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

What if i use the onboard as primary and PCI-E as secondary or is it case that in Bios you HAVE TO choose one or the other. Are you all 100% positive? They have already ordered it so .... :P

it entirely depends on the motherboard. My ati board has an onboard x300 which played just fine with my old x800gto2 for multi screen goodness. 3 monitors and two tv outputs to choose from lol.

That looks encouraging.
