hello everyone
i am looking to add another monitir to my computer so that i have 2 running
at the same time
now the computer that i have the motherboard does not allow for this to
happen and cancel out the onboard graphics when you add a graphics card, have
been through the bios and it just wont allow it, checked the web site and it
says the same, so what i was thinking was why not get a new motherboard and
change everything over. but when i look for a motherboard i am still unsure
of which one to get, i was wondering if there was anyone that could give me
some advice on this

other graphics card is a g-force fx 5500 128mb

thank you in advance for any suggestions

Or buy a graphics card that supports 2 monitors.

Unless the current motherboard as an AGP slot, most PCI video card do not
"seem" to have two monitor ports (DVI/VGA combos).
