Your computer has NVIDIA GeForce® 6200. It has 2 video outlets, you DO NOT need another graphics card. <img src="http://www.nvnews.net/previews/geforce_6200/images/card_shot_s.jpg"> http://www.nvnews.net/previews/geforce_6200/index.shtml You can connect 2 monitors to the card, one with VGA connector, the other with DVI connector. Most of the LCD monitors have connectors for both.
This is really weird. My card only has 1 outlet. It has the display outlet (blue) and a small tv out. I took the card out to check it. I cant see exactly what model it is on the card itself. I checked in device manager and it says Nvida Geforce 6200 Turbocache(TM) instaleed and working correctly. My card looks like this inside (i.e no fan) and has the exact same look as this one except it only has one monitor outlet. http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sn...0768020&cs=ukbsdt1&dgc=SS&cid=5186&lid=121454 Really appreciate the help you guys are giving me.
It's not weird. There are many variations of the 6200. Some do not have dual ports. In addition.... some "dual port" video cards won't run 2 monitors. They were designed with both VGA and DVI ports to accommodate EITHER type of monitor, not one of each.
Yep I was one of the unlucky ones with a 6200 that ran only one monitor. ANyway have now got and installed a new graphics card and its running 2 monitors perfectly. I really appreciate all of the help. thanks
I got a radeon HD 3450 which was on special offer at my local pc store. 512 mb Fitted and works great.
