    so, ive bought 2 brand new 24inch asus flatscreen fullHD monitors for a good price. problem is, i didnt think this through.

    i have only a laptop, and ive just had a thought that i dunno if i can use both monitors at once running from my laptop. oops!
    i was wondering if i could use the VGA output and the HDMI output at the same time? they are identical monitors so the same resolution. du think its possible?

    now i just godda work out how im gonna fit over 48inches of monitor on a 45inch desk!! in addition to my laptop!! lololololol.

    I assume your 9200GS is NVIDIA?

    Duel RAMDAC, so only 2 independent displays, some cards can Mirror a 3rd display off the RAMDAC of the other 2.

    I don't know if the 9200GS can.

    If you don't want to use the Laptop display, you can drive 2 External Displays, However, unless your Bios let's you set that up...........

    You'll need a bit of a Hack to get it to work.
