I just got my hands on an extra monitor and I have an old Riva TNT PCI vid card.

My questions are, how do I go about setting it up? Is it worth it? Is it a resource hog?

any feedback would be appreciated.

This is a good one to take to the hardware forum. Skuzzy and Bloom should be able to give you some decent info there.

Puggg...just plug your second video card in and plug your second monitor into that. Boot up Windows. Then check your display properties and you'll have the option to enable your second monitor as well as changing the settings on the second video card. It's as simple as that, barring any driver installation issues for the vid card.

got it working just fine, just thought it would be more involved than that is all.

Yeah, I was amazed how simple it was when I first did it!
