    I want to connect two monitors up like Nephilim http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/165254 Right now, I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 with a VGA and DVI-I output. I was wondering if I hooked up one monitor to the VGA output on videocard and the other monitor to the DVI output, would I have the same thing as Nephilim?

    You'll have exactly what I have. I use a Radeon 9800 Pro that has one VGA and one DVI output. Both my Acers connect via 15 pin VGA so I had to use a DVI to VGA adapter for one of my LCDs :)

    Anyone running a multimonitor setup owes it to themselves to check out UltraMon which is an amazing app for setting up and controlling them.
