Graphics input

[Maybelle53]

Hi. When using 2 monitors which input is best to use either PCI or onboard graphics.

Onboard graphics usually have a VGA output (depending on the age of the computer). Some pc's already have either DVI or HDMI.
Running two monitors I would suggest getting a Video card with two outputs (preferrable same connectors), then you can control each monitor through the video card. However, I would not use PCI as it is sometimes slow (use PCIe if possible). Depending on the age of your pc you might be able to use AGP with a GeForce 5200 (what I am using). Never used the onboard video card.
Since I do not know your hardware, I can only give general advice

There are 2 types of output,

- One is Duplicating the display (the same display appears at second monitor)
- Another is Extend the display (the same display is extended whereby you can move objects from one monitor to another)

which is you need?
