    hey all,

    I dont know a lot about video cards but I don't understand why are there two(2) DVI ports on my PCI-E 6600 GT:confused: , what would happen if I just plug a second monitor to the available DVI port??

    I heard there is a feature in some video cards that you can see something in one monitor like a web page and in the other monitor you will see that page minimized while you are doing other stuff, Can i do this with my 6600 Gt????


    anyways thanks in advance,

    henry.

    Yes, many modern grapics cards support dual-display, which means you can have 2 or more monitors side by side. Try plugging a second one in, and see what happens, you may have to open display properties, click the settings tab, and click monitor 2, and set the resolution etc..
