Beginner's Question: Adding a 2nd Monitor
Hello
I just got a new 22" monitor, which my Nvidia Quadro FX3000 is able to drive without problems (I'm not a gamer - just regular office type applications user). Instead of eBaying my old 17" monitor, I thought maybe I can use it to increase my monitor real estates. But when I hooked it up to the second DVI port on the FX3000 card, everything just slowed down to a crawl, obviously the card can't handle 2 monitors. Do you think it would help If I installed a second PCI video card? I don't have any experience building systems so I've no idea if that would work. Also, my system manual says that I have slots of type:100 MHz/64-bit PCI-X, are these regular PCI, or PCI-Express-2.0, or PCI- Express-x1, or PCI-Express-x16 ? THANKS! System Info: WinXP Pro. Dual AMD 248 Opteron. 2GB Ram. nvidia quadro fx 3000 |
