2 GPUs (for multi-monitor setup)

2 GPUs (for multi-monitor setup) I have a machine to which I need to connect a second monitor. This machine currently hosts a ATI Radeon HD 4770 with two DVI adapters. The second monitor to be hooked to this machine is a VGA monitor.

"It depends what operating system you are going to use. I think this is possible in XP however I know for a fact that you cannot in Vista and I remember hearing that they are going to re-enable it in Windows 7, however I have not heard about it for ages or had a chance to test it.

I would say get an adapter quick - you can get them for next to nothing (<£3 inc shipping on eBay) and will do the job without you needing to tinker with your system."

"For a while, I used an NVidia PCIe card and some old PCI card simultaneously in Vista. Worked fine. The old card was either some old Radeon or an NVidia Riva TNT (probably the latter).

Like Chris Nava said, it's probably less trouble to find, borrow, or buy an adapter."
