thx for the fast reply

do you HAVE to have the adaptor? shouldnt the gfx card have 2 ports for 2 monitors if it supports two?

the only reason im asking is cos i dont know what to do, i would like to get 2 really good monitors, but seein as my budget is £1700 for an entirely new system...eep!
how much did both your really good monitors cost?

how cheap do you think a 19inch CRT (maybe TFT), and a 15inch TFT would be?
