    I have a Radeon 9600 video card, it will suport dual monitors, I currently have 2 identical brand monitors (Dell 770e..i think), nevetheless, what type of converter or cable do I need. I have scoured the net for a solutoion but only see this Y-See2 or something like that...for 65$ I think not. Is there a cheaper alternative cable or converter? Thanks

    sorry, the generosity has yet to be found no matter how deep i dug into the box it came in, although i did get one from class the other day, but i believe it is just a mere s-vidio cable....BLAST! quite worthless with what I am trying to achieve.......or is it?

    I believe that you will need to purchase the DVI->VGA converter in order to have dual VGA monitors. I have the ATI Radeon 9600XT DDR256MB hooked up w/ a monitor (VGA) and TV(S-Video). The S-Video is if you want to use the TV and monitor at the same time.
