Hello all, noob virgin here!
H, my puter is a couple of years old, and has four monitors, and i wish to add another two. This was planned for, so i know it can be done.
The problem is my computer guy is no longer around, and i dont know what i need to do. I think i need to get another video card and obviously the hardware to plug the monitors in.
Following is some stuff i found using pc wizard. If you need any more info, please ask.
It looks like i have two video cards, the colorgraphic xentera gt. I think that each does two monitors, so i will need one more vid card?
Monitor type, plug and play
Open gl yes
Gdi plus yes
I think they have gone bust.
I will only be using 17" screens, nothing fancy, no games, just poker.
