two monitors one cabinet

[dotcommakers]

i want to use two monitors in one pc.. i just dont need two display but two working monitors.. for multitasking..

is this doable?

regards

If ur gfx card supports multiple display (which almost all new gfx card support) then yes u can use two monitors. What's the config. of ur rig?
But if u want that ur PC works as two seperate machine then there is some kit available which lets to attach the second monitor, keyboard and mouse. So at the same time, two people could do seperate task on a single machine. I don't remember the brand.

What is ur machine's configuration?

dual core
intel
1gbm ram


i checked today display properties and there is already option for multiple displays

there was pic of monitor and tv and one another thing.. i dont know whats that

does it mean that i can use two monitors without card?

and whats "buddy card" i heard that i can use two monitor, two keyboards and two mouse

dunno abt the 'buddy card', but theres sum mobo which lets u have 2 simultaneous users on a single cabinet... dunno the details, i thot it wuz funny... lolz..
and yea... to connect 2 monitors, u shld get a dedicated graphics card... most of em do support dual displays nowdays... like everyone else said...
check the back of ur system, see where the 2nd cable from the monitor gets plugged into ur system... if theres an input that looks like this:

or this:


the input where the white scraggly arrow is pointin to...
well, if u have that, ure set to go

U can get this...but u need 2 add some hardware.I dont have idea abt graphics card...but I think u have sufficient system requirement.

U can use upto 10 or more stations using one cabinet(cpu,hard drive,CD-ROM,etc)....Each computer terminal can be used to do web surfing,use instant messenger,n other applications...

For each computer terminal u need only moniter keyboard and mouse.

But to get this u need to add a additional hardware...I know one like that.
Its "ADLINE system"

If u live in delhi...than I can give u the phone number of its dealer also.
