I am installing a new video card in my pc but I need some help...?

I have an hp a744x and I have 2 PCI slots available.

I have just purchased a new monitor that is 1680x1050 resolution.



If I purchase a PCI express 2.0 card ddr2 that supports hd resolution and dual link will this allow me to use my new monitor and dual it with my old one?



also with the video card is instillation easy?|||The only way to have a dual head workstation is to have a gfx card that supports it. Usually if the card has more than one display interface, then it can support multiple monitors. However, in many cases, cards with more than 2 ports can still only support 2 devices. Go to your display settings after plugging in the second monitor and enable it. You should be able to check "extend my desktop" and change resolutions and positions. Installation is easy. Take out your old one if it is removable, or disable it in your BIOS if not. If you don't disalbe or remove it, you may experience an IRQ collision and fail to boot properly or at all. Carefully insert the new card, and boot up and install the drivers. Then plug in your monitors and configure.|||Is your PCI 2.0 video card backwards compatible with regular PCI?



With the right adapter, you could use more than one monitor.



Video card installation is very simple - just push the card into the appropriate slot.
