I have my normal gaming video card , 9700pro with my crt monitor. I also play a ton of online poker. So I want to have two LCD monitors sidebyside so I can play 4 tables at once.
Can I have two vidoecards in the same pc and run the two lcds off a dual montior video card? Move them aside and be able to play games on the orginal card/monitor with no problems. Is this possible to configure?

that card has a vga and dvi output on it? you should be able to just use it with 2 monitors with no problem.

Yes it has VGA and DVI. Does this mean I could use a lcd on each?

Why does it have to be a pair of LCD's?
You don't have an old CRT monitor laying around?
Heck I've got stacks of em. Need one?

I only have this one crt. I figured two lcds so I could move em around quick and they woudlnt take up much room with this crt. So when you coming to Sac?

Mustaine, Old small ones, I doubt they'd be worth what it would cost to ship.
But if your ever in Fargo ND stop by.

Where I live has a "clean up week" every spring where they'll take anything placed on the berm. My wife & I call it "free shopping", I've picked up lots of montors, parts and some older systems that way.
Second Hand stores in our area almost always have a couple of monitors sitting around with a 5 - 15$ price tag. Mostly stuff thats phased out by the bigger companys as they upgrade. Give the junk away and get a tax deduction for it.
Just have to keep your eyes open.
Last, if you REALLY need a monitor, say the word. We'll get it to you somehow.
(need an old P1 133 with 500 mb hd to go with it???? :) )
