Dual Display Configurations: This motherboard provides two ports for video output: DVI-D and D-Sub. The table below shows the supported dual display configurations. Combination Supported or Not Dual Display DVI-D + D-Sub Yes The DVI-D means you'd need one monitor with DVI digital input. A dongle adapter won't convert the DVI-D connector to VGA (as there are no analog signals hiding on a DVI-D connector). To understand more about the various types of DVI, see this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface The second connector is VGA 15 pin, so the second monitor would need a VGA input. When purchasing LCD monitors, the very cheapest ones have DVI-D only on them. That solves the first monitor requirement. You should check carefully, when purchasing the second monitor, that it has a VGA input on it as well. Paul |
