I want dual monitors

juanyjuans

I want to have dual monitors on 1 machine.

If I get this: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/4815972/art/sapphire-technology/radeon-hd-5450-hypermemor.html

And then this:http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/1503444/art/lindy/dvi-splitter-cable-2-way.html

Will it work???

The description of the card does not mention "dual display"???

What kind of connectors do your screens take?
DVI or VGA - Or both - Or neither?

You don't need the splitter lead, juanyjuans :eek:

Both monitors can be connected to the same card for dual display (most graphics cards can do this).
You'll need at least one monitor with DVI or HDMI, though
so e.g. main monitor -> DVI, other monitor -> SVGA

Or just buy a card with whatever you need.
You could save €2 by going with komplett (free delivery) for that card.
Any reasonably modern card will handle two monitors easily enough, so maybe you should take a trip to adverts. Do you plan ond doing anything graphically strenuous?

I don't plan to do any strenuous graphics processing. I just want a dual display.

My Monitors have both DVI and VGA.

So there is still a chance that the graphics card I mentioned might not support dual monitors???

No, it will definitely take two monitors unless it's a faulty card. There should be little or no problems.
If you can find a 5450 with displayport, you can use three monitors (but you would need a specific eyefinity adapter).
