Hey, so when it comes to computers I'm really retarded, Even though I've been gaming for half my life on comps Im like three years old when it comes to the technical stuff.

So I can dual-box with decent latency and fps, sometimes I hit rough spots but its nothing terrible. When I Tri-Box it's a considerable more amount of lag, and it's sort of a hindrance, so I wanted to put it on two computers but for somereason the other comp crapped out, So I figured well then I'll just use two moniters, but I looked at it, and I don't think I can hook up two monitiors to this model :< is there something I'm missing? cause almost all the comps I've seen have the ability to have dual monitors :<





Halp a retard out :(

not knowing your video card, it's impossible to say.

if you have a PCI video card with only 1 port, you MIGHT have another VGA port depending on if your motherboard has one.

Most of the current crop of video cards have dual DVI or DVI/VGA ports. Also depends on if your monitors use VGA or DVI. there are DVI<->VGA adapters that you might need as well.

I don't run dual monitors, but consider this: if you add a monitor, you just DOUBLED the number of pixels your video card has to crunch. if you had trouble with one monitor, it's unlikely that you'll do any better with 2.

Good Luck!
