Video

Trying to setup two video monitors i have a Dell Optiplex Gx260 I have a on board video card on motherboard and i want to add my Geforce Fx 5200 for a 2nd video.Any ideas on how to set both up only won works one at a time but i would like to have both working.

 

For got to add i have a on board graphics and a pci slot i have my G Force in my pci slot but i would all so like to use my on board as well at the same time

 

You can but its hit and miss,some work fine some just don't.

Which one works?:-D When they are both connected?

With your video card installed and connected to your monitor turn on the comp hit del and go into bios,usually when you install a second video card onboard is automatically disabled as it uses up lots of CPU and ram so search through the settings and find onboard video options,it will probably be in integrated peripherals,you should find its disabled so enable it.

Which version of windows do you have?I'm guessing XP,I feel lazy so I'll just post the MS guide.
