I am trying to use 2 monitors with an HP a1640n. They will be used so that email is on one
and web surfing on the other. Nothing fancy, no high powered applications.
Actually, I am trying to help out my sister.
The current monitor is hooked up via VGA to the onboard video adapter. The second available monitor has VGA and DVI-D capability.
I see the following is available on the HP
PCI Three (Two available)
PCI Express x16 One (One available)
total specs on the HP are at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...8103&dlc=en
A geforce 5200FX was suggested. Will this work? Are there other inexpensive cards I can use.
We will appreciate your help
Thanks
