Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Newbee Pls. Help - Which board(s)?
Avi   2003-06-11 11:04
Configuring a new computer. Already bought two monitors (a dream of years :-) but don't know way to go with graphics boards.

Currently, the computer I bought has an on-board embedded graphics chip (i.e. no board).

Now, I _THINK_ I have two and a half options:

1) Buy a dual head board such as the Gainward GeForce FX5600 128MB DDR + DVI + TVOut + DualHead

2) Buy two different "single head" :-) boards such as the Innovision Geforce 4 MX440.

2B) Buy ONE board as in (2) above, and use the embedded mother board chip set as the "second board".

Any advice on configuration and board(s)? Notice that I'm a software developer and "office user" and hardly game (except for two years being awake most nights fighting one scene in CIV-II)

P.S. The "vocabulary" - the list of boards I can get from the dealer - is here

I also pretty much stick to 2D apps. I like NVidia based dual-output cards.
