I just got a 19" LCD monitor and would like to use my old 17" CRT in a dual monitor setup. My graphics card doesn't support 2 monitors so I will need to buy a new card.
I don't game so I don't need a high-end, expensive card. Some questions:
1. Is it better to get one card that supports dual display or to add a PCI card to go along with my AGP ATI All-in-Wonder 8500DV? (I don't use most of features (TV etc.) of the 8500DV, so don't mind giving it up if one dual display card is better/easier to use for dual display.)
2. I would need to run the CRT at a lower resolution and higher refresh rate than the LCD. Is this possible?
3. Any recommendations on which card to buy?
Thx.
