Kids Dual monitors

I was wondering if it was possible to run dual monitors on a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 graphics card? If it is, but you have other suggestions please state those too.

Thank you,
JR

I don't think NV did dual monitors till the GeForce cards.
Easy way to find out-how many VGA connectors are on the card?

Cheapest way to obtain dual monitors is to buy a cheap PCI video card, and have it run your second display.

No. TNT2 has only one output engine.

Kruzin is right on suggesting a cheap PCI video card. If your mobo has onboard video also, might be a matter of enabling it with the TNT card.

Proprietary systems like E machines disable the onboard video if you use a video card, but my MSI board uses both at the same time.

Heck, you could shop around for a dual VGA PCI video card, and use the onboard video to go for a triple

Why not simply ditch the quite awful TNT2-M64 and get something simple (and faster) that supports dual monitors, like a Radeon-7000, 7500 or 9000/9200?
