ANYONE PLS CARE TO CONTIRIBUTE TO MY PROBLEM COZ I GOT BROKEN CPU SO THERES A SPARE MONITOR IN THE HOUSE n i want to see the potential of my i52500 if can handle the stress, by the way the problem of my broken cpu is burnt psu which is expensive to buy rather than all i need is dvi to vga or hdmi to dvi cable which i would really save a lot thanks

Just read about that software "Softxpand 2011".

But yes you have two options. The Geforce 210 can run 2x monitors on its own, as long as one of them uses the VGA cable and the other the DVI/HDMI.

Alternatively, you can use the IGP in your 2500 to run a screen as well, you may need to enable this in the bios, but if you connect a monitor to your montherboard before you switch the computer on, it may auto detect and enable it.

Bear in mind that if you plan to run games, you might struggle with the IGPU and the Geforce 210, both arent good. If you wanted to play multi seat games you will most likely want 2x good graphics cards and possibly a better PSU to power them (depending on what you have currently).

thank you very much sir for ur participation in my post really appreciated, what do you mean by using my integrated graphic card? can my igp still work even i have a video card functioning? can the two work together? so if it can work together can i put my 2nd monitor vga cable to my igp vga and 2nd monitor to my graphic card vga? and if not which is better for my 2nd monitor in my video card slot, hdmi? or dvi slot? by the way my 2nd monitor have no hdmi slot only vga and dvi but i can buy adapter or converter cable so which is would i buy hdmi to vga or dvi to vga? thank you very much sir god bless

Yeah you can use your VGA port on your motherboard and use the graphics on your CPU, should work fine.

Plug it in before turning the computer on, so it can be enabled (the IGP). If it doesnt work right away, you may need to enable it in the bios. But the IGP in the 2500 can work with the Geforce as well.

I havent tried my self, but Sandybridge CPUs can use the IGP as well as a graphics card at the same time.
