Hi Guys I am not sure I have posted this in the correct catergory - I hope I have, thanks in advance for any help.

I have just bought a new PC - it is a space saving one and now I have bought it I think I may have made a booboo

I currently use 2 monitors on my current OLD PC as I put a second video card in to allow this (or a friend did).

My new PC only has one video card and no room for another one to be added.

The new PC has a DVI socket and also a HDMI socket beside it as it has a cheapo blu ray player inside.

I know I can buy a DVI - HDMI adapter so my question is if I buy this adapter I will then have 2 x female DVI sockets and will these be sufficient to run my two screens and extend my desktop.

Or have I made a booboo by buying such a small tower unit

The model spec is pasted below

Thanks so much for any help you may give

Jase
