Re: SWAP : Video card wanted

Thanks chaps.

Having read this thread, it moved me into experimenting using two monitors. I’d thought about it before but you know how it is, I just never got round to doing it, until now.
At the moment I have a spare monitor because my main pc is in the repair shop and it may be there for some time, so I thought I’d give it a bash whilst is free.
I managed to set it all up after doing a couple of searches on the web and following a few easy instructions and to be honest, it’s brilliant.
They do though recommend getting a dual video card rather than having a second video card fitted as they could conflict and cause problems.

There's loads of info on the subject, just do a search for “two monitors xp”

You can also get a free download called ULTRSMON which I have read is a must if you intend to have multiple monitors.
It allows you with great ease to move and manage your pages between monitors.
