Hi, I'm looking at getting an Intel DG33FB motherboard and an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro. I want to connect my main monitor to the ATI and a secondary to the on-board video. Both at VGA-connector monitors.
I've heard that using onboard and expansion video sometimes doesn't work. Does anyone have any experience with these products, or know whether or not there would be a problem with this setup?
The 1600 does have multiple connections, but one is VGA, the other is DVI. Both monitors are VGA. I'm sure there's an adapter I could get, but I want to know if it would work with the setup described above.
DVI-VGA converter most GFX cards come with those today, if not go out and buy one for like 3$ also no you cannot use onboard once you have a Dedicated Video card(not onboard) the Onboard will be disabled.

Youd just be complicating things using your onboard, having to run/use that AND you gfx card. Ive read it CAN be done, but why? The 1600 can handle both, use a converter and youre all set.
