Hello All,

I have a new Dell i7 2.66Ghz and I went for the 4850 graphic card. I am now thinking about three monitors, and wonder can I install a second 4850 to allow me to run three or four monitors?

I seem to think from what I read that it can work with two cards, but I am worried about not being able to physically install two 4850's or that they use a special slot of which there is only one on most PC's.

Any ideas what to look for ?

thanks

Mark

You will need a PCI-E slot. Your motherboard should have at least two with your current 4850 taking up one. At the end of a PCI-E slot there is usually a little clip to help secure the end of a video card as well. If you're still unsure what it looks like Google it.
