Having two screens

[lebano]

What are the major requirements to keep in mind when building your own computer if you wish to have two screens. I'm a novice software tester and this is a necessity :)

You need a decent graphics card, and overall the computer needs to be a good spec, other than that there are not really any special requirements.

Not necessarily mate - you can have dual monitors on a bog standard GFX card, as long as it has 2 outputs. I had a dual monitor setup on a really old computer at my workplace with a rubbish old AGP card that cost £20 from my local computer hardware store. :)

Just make sure that your card has two outputs and that these outputs match your monitor, and you will be fine.

Decent to me WM is an FX-5500 lol.

Any card with two ports will do it, but i tried it on an old ge-force mx100/200 (i think) with some undesirable results :eek: :D

Heh, my boss asked me to set one up for his office, so I did loads of research into it.

Some people have up to 12 monitors. :O
