Hi,

I just bought a brand new 19" monitor today, and my old 15" monitor seems useless now.
Is it possible to use 2 video cards (on 1 computer box) and and connect them to my 2 monitors for DUAL DISPLAY?

I have a msi-starforce816 geforce2 mx that has tv-out
and the other video card is an old 4mb s3-375 card
(for the dual display on the 4mb card, resolution would be low )

ALSO:
Considering that my gf2mx has twinview, dual display would be easier.......... but i don't have a tv w/ s-video a connector.
Is there a s-video (tv-out) ----> vga 15-pin convertor that exists?

You can use two video cards (starting with Win98, I believe), to have a dual view. I don't know how that differs from nVidia's Dual View. And BTW, at least one of the cards has to be PCI, in case you didn't think of that (hey, it happens).

Apple? Macintosh? What are these strange words you speak?
