Can this destop work with dual monitors?

dual monitors, yes.
You can not upgrade to a 2500K. It has a socket 1156 motherboard, and 2500k is socket 1155. They are not compatible.

Plus a 2500k would not give you any advantage over a 2500 in a case of a OEM computer. The BIOS is locked, so you can not OC at all.
 
Thanks. I am not really interest in o/c, it should be fast enough as it is. It got 4 cores. how it compare to the I5-2500? anything different away from the speed different? 2.66ghz vs 3.4ghz?
By the way, how do you connect the two monitor? one bye hdmi and other one dvi? or vga and dvi?
Thank you.
 
you can use any connector that the VGA card has adaptors to. I think the 5750 has either VGA/DVI or 2x DVI.

The main thing is to make sure that you set up the monitors correctly in the CCC.


as for speed, the 2500 would be way better. It is newer, and faster. The design is more efficient, and thus does more per clock.
 
CCC is catalyst control centre. It is the control panel for AMD/ATI graphics.

If it has those connectors, then you will need to connect one through VGA and your main through DVI or HDMI. DVI and HDMI are the same thing, just HDMI has audio, so if you use HDMI and DVI, you will get the same quality on both monitors.
 
the only difference is the HT ability. Either way he can not upgrade to a sandy bridge processor without a motherboard change. That would invalidate the OEM license of windows, causing a 100 extra, and with a good CPU comes a good PSU (no OEM has that), causing a 300 upgrade to be well over 500.
 
Never mind, it gone out of stock already and not stock back. should have grab it when it is available. it is very reasonable price for something I want to do with it.
Well I guess I have to ask you guys help to build a lowend system when the fund is a bit loose.
Thank you.
