    I have the Radeon 9200SE and by looking at the specs on it it states it has dual monitor capability...same resolution and refresh rate...but the outputs on the back are just one VGA, one RCA, and one S-Video.
    How do you hook up a second monitor when there is only one VGA connector? I searche google about converting the s-vid to vga, but naw don't wanna go there...gotta buy some expensive conversion box. Wonder why they would state dual monitor capability and only supply one vga connector?

    Thanks,
    Blade

    Hi Black Blade.
    There are several differently configured 9200SE boards. The type you have - VGA/RCA/S-Video which is designed to hook up to TV sets and the like, and the type that makes it easier to connect two monitors - VGA/DVI/S-Video. The card with the DVI port has an adapter that converts the DVI configuration to a second VGA port. The Windows desktop can be extended to the second monitor, which makes it great for CAD programs and computer code writing.:)

    Why not just pick up a second video board. Plenty of 'em on ebay. Dual monitors for expanded desktop are easy.
