For those who can help.
I own 2 monitors, and 1 graphics card which is a geforce 4 ti4600. Do I need an extra cable, extention or and new graphics card to put into the PCI slot?
I want to run 2 monitors to extend the desktop out so I can play more tables.
Any help toward this is appreciated...
The card should have come with an adaper that looks something like this:

In fact that page will probably answer all your questions.
so where would I plug the second monitor into?
See MY geforce I got a few years back when it first came out...
didnt come with a DVI connector switch....
Most of these cards come with one VGA port, one S-video port, and one DVI port. Yours does not?
What kind of ports does yours have?
Oh yes it does come with a Svideo port. Do I need to get an adapter to change from the DVI port to S-video?
My LCD is right now into my DVI port and my second monitor has a dvi port only so I just need an adapter?
I don't think S-video to DVI works, at least I've never seen an adapter for it. So does your card have 2 DVI ports? not VGA at all?

The blue is the dvi output and black is svideo
and what is the white used for?
can a dual it with this card?
Actually the Blue is VGA, the Black is S-video, and the White is DVI.
It sounds like you need to get your hands on a DVI-VGA adapter (if neither of your monitors has that kind of plug-commonly available on LCD's). After that it should be as simple as plugging them both in and possibly installing some software from your card's manufacturer. The software thing could easily be optional, depending on the manufacturer.
Yes you should be able to dual monitor with that card.
You wont get very good performance if you were trying to dual monitor while playing a video intensive game, but for poker tables it should be perfectly capable.
Your on chip fan is boring, pimp that shiz baby!
all ready done that buddyQuote:
