PC Arrived, help needed!

[Alairan]

Hello all. The PC I just ordered from overlockers arrived, and I've got it set up.

Now, the problem is, I've hooked up my two monitors to the Radeon HD 6950, but only the primary one is displaying. The computer does not even detect my second monitor. They are both VGA I believe, with adapters attached to work with the card. I've checked that everything is connected correctly, with no luck.

Ah, yes, no DVI or HDMI connections.

And stulid, I already have up to date ATI drivers all installed.

Seems like its just a case of ancient monitors. Will have to see about investing in something more up to date then

That is honestly rather disappointing to see from Overclockers. Just looked myself, and indeed they are all listed as having 2 Dual-Link DVI-I slots. Rather misleading, and as I cannot afford to get a new monitor right now after such a big spend... Well, going back to 1 monitor after so long is rather annoying. Oh well.

Ah, marvelous. I'd just sent in a complaint about that through a webnote, its just going to look like crazy rambling now.

But yes, other than this little hiccup (oh god how do people function using only one monitor its driving me mad), very pleased with Overclockers. Lovely machine.
