Well here is the deal.
I have 1 crt monitor but when that fades out would like to replace
with lcd. Ultimately having 2 monitors would be nice. Uses are
home video editing, digital photographs 2d applications and would like
to experience nice game on single monitor. Also would like to run a
rudimentary CAD application. Very important ot me is having very crisp
letters in 2-d applications (you know word processing) .
I would like a card that can support dual dvi-i interface.
But most cards have 1 dvi-i and 1 analog vga output for the crt
monitor.
THe question is how will the crt monitor look if hooked directly to
the dvi-i interface via an adaptor that makes use of the last 4 pins
in the dvi-i plug. Does the adapter convert the signal as well as a
dedicated vga output that comes on video cards that support have
1dvi-i and 1 vga output.
THis is an issue because as I said ulimately I would like to have 2
monitors hooked to the 2 dvi-i outputs on a card.
Thanks
