    Like the subject says.

    I want to run dual monitors.

    I have an AGP vid card installed along with the onboard video that came with the PC. I have them both hooked up to monitors but from the research I did, when you install a AGP vid card, it automatically disables the onboard. I checked my bios and theres no place to re-enable it. It doesnt even show up in my control panel.

    Any ideas?

    I wish... that'd be the obvious answer if I did two outputs...

    There is a VGA cable io dont know what its called I have seen somewhere its a cable that has one Plug (VGA) on one side and on the other it runs into 2 seperate ones ive seen it on a PC with only intergrated graphics one side plugged into rthe monitor the other into a projector just buy one of these but you need to find the nale LOL!
    if you cant i would just buy a graphics card ive seen cheap cards for 40au with 2 ports if you dont play games you can buy like a Geforce 3 of ebay it has 1x DVI 1x VGA 1x S-Video
