Quick, simple, easy question about moniters / graphics cards.

At the moment im currently running off a 8600GT, but my motherboard has a 6150 of some sort in it, is there anyway I can enable them both to allow me to run 2 screens?

I dont neccaserarly (Great spelling) want it to use the memory from the nforce it can use the 8600's memory or w/e if it has to, its just im kinda lacking a dv > vga converter atm so I cant plug it into the 8600.

And is running 2 screens on the 8600 as simple as Plug in>Play with setups>win?

Cheers, Jim.

Edit: I dont particulary want anything demanding running on the smaller screen to the left, just things like vent / media player / firefox etc. At a push a movie.

Are you sure the 8600GT doesn't have two outputs? Would be far better and simpler. It possible to use a second graphics card to run a third monitor, software like Soft TH manages it.

Yeah it does, its just I dont have a spare DV>Vga converter for it so my moniter cable cant fit it :shy:

I don't think you be able to run both onboard and a graphics card.

It would just be far easier to get a second converter.

Ok, thanks for the help and such, I'll just wait for my cable to get here >_<
