    Hi,

    I have integrated Intel GMA 4500 with a DVI and VGA output from my motherboard. Would it be possible to run dual monitors from both outputs? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated as always!

    Thanks,
    James

    I'm not sure, since I haven't heard of dual monitor configurations directly from a motherboard with both type ports. Anyway, can you get, or borrow, a second monitor to test it? If it doesn't work, then you'll have clear evidence that you'll have to buy a video card in order to use two monitors.

    Running Vista Ultimate and I would plan to run two Dell LCD monitors.

    So VGA to DVI would produce a digital signal in the 2nd monitor even though it's coming from a VGA port?
