Any1 help please. I'm looking to run 2 monitors from my existing PC . Do I need a new graphics card and if so can anybody recommend the correct one. Also can I buy any off the shelf monitor for this?
Download this (it's completely safe) then install and run it then get back to me with what it says...http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.61-setup-en.exe
Or look on the back of your computer and tell me how many of either of these ports you have, obviously your current monitor will be plugged into one, any others?

Iv on dual monitors and my graphics fully support this.
I can run any amount of poker tables,msn, betfair etc no problems.
Most modern pcs should be ok.
Just connect your 2nd monitor and try it.
If not ,upgrade your graphics.

Seems that's just onboard graphics expat hence why you only have one port.
You need a new graphics card, something basic will do the job fine. Under the mainboard tab what model does it say?

I didn't think it was possible to split from one output, it would just clone the displays rather than extending it?
What does it say under 'Version' on the mainboard Tab?

That should be compatible, it's not too hard to install but it will involve a going inside the computer and slotting it in
I'd suggest this expathttp://www.ebuyer.com/368753-asus-hd-5450-silent-512mb-ddr3-vga-dvi-hdmi-low-profile-graphics-eah5450-sl-di-512md3-v2-lp-That should be compatible, it's not too hard to install but it will involve a going inside the computer and
Hope it works, if you're buying a new monitor you might want to go for a DVI one since your current one will occupy the VGA one which will save you buying a VGA/DVI adapter
Good luck
