Two or more monitors

[Bisjac]

if you got a dual core video card, or are using 2 video cards i wouldnt.
it literally uses half the power to game on the one half then using all video rendering on 1 screen. shux

Having two monitors makes me feel like a mad scientist in a lair.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA.


It also comes in handy when i am doing something actually productive on one and posting on the blockland forum on the other.

the green plug I have isn't in the pdf file

Green is serial port. Not for video. You would need to buy a video card. You could use the video card you buy for the main and he integrated one for the extended monitor.

Gen. Nick - All accurate information. Probably better to use pictures to describe plugs but you offered useful info. *pats on back*

Another tip: Most high-end graphics cards (i.e. 9800GTs, GTX 260, etc.) have two DVI-I ports instead of VGA and DVI-I. They all have S-Video* but no one really uses S-Video for monitors, only for like TVs usually.

It's an old interface. The old joysticks used it. And the original Lego spybotics.

It's not s-video. It's a multifunction port. If you look, it has more contacts than the 4 that s-video has. Mine came with a component out adaptor cable.

I stand corrected.
