I'm in the process of trying to set up multiple monitors on my system (1.9gHz P4, WinXP) but I've run into issues. Currently I'm working with just one video card: the GeForce 3 Ti500, using a Dell 19" CRT monitor (my original monitor) and an Envision 17" CRT (the new one) via a DVI-VGA adapter. I get display on both monitors, but Windows won't detect the second monitor (with both monitors connected, won't auto-detect, won't install manually, though if I disconnect the Dell monitor, the Envision installs fine), so I can only mirror. Looking through the FAQ here, am I reading correctly that I'll need a second video card instead of running both monitors from the Ti500? Or is there something that I'm not doing correctly?
Thanks in advance,
jt.

I've heard that the GF3 can't run dual independent monitors like many GF4's (and some GF2's) can, so you'll either need a newer card, or a second (PCI) card.

I had a feeling that was going to be the answer... Not quite sure why they took that out of the GF2s - it isn't like the Ti500 was a cheap card, after all.
Oh well. Looks like I'll be on the lookout for a cheap PCI-based card for monitor #2.
Thanks for the quick reply!
