    For those who want to add another monitor...here are a couple of options.

    The only way I have found to add additional monitors is to add a second
    graphics card.

    The second on the list is a PCI Express version that uses an open expansion port on your motherboard. Along with the
    monitor I posted above, this card will take
    advantage of the digital signal (DVI).

    I am not sure a switch will work as desired, and costs the same as a second
    graphics card.

    Hope this helps..

    Yes, someone makes a video splitter. Don't know how well it works. Try Google.

    It's very easy to install another video card, though, presuming no driver conflicts.

  4. If the original poster is still around, could you maybe help me with the above questions regarding what you had to do?
    Thanks

    My video card had a digital and a analog output.... So I just put the 2nd monitor in the analog output and right clicked on desktop and went to properties and then settings and clicked on the 2nd monitor. Was very easy....
