@ cynlee - Dual monitors > i would like another monitor but my system is nearing full capacity... I'm not sure what you mean by "system is nearing full capacity" ... but it is actually very easy to have two monitors. For peace of mind, they should not be two different models -- exactly same model and the same age. In addition they both should have internal magnetic shielding. You also need a video card that supports 2 monitors -- also called dual-head. The ATI Radeon VE and the ATI Radeon 7000 do that. For about $50 you can get one with 64MBy on the card. Installation? Piece of cake. If you know which end of a screwdriver faces the work, you could do it yourself. > should have never listened to the the sales guy that said, > oh that's plenty big :p you'll never fill it up... ha! Hmmmmmmm ... that leads to this reported dialog ... Q. Do you know the difference between a used car salesman and a computer salesman? A. The used car salesman knows when he is lying to you. MGD
