Dual Monitor Setup
I currently have a Windows Media Center PC and I want to hook up two monitors. I don't want the image to be mirrored though. I only have one VGA output on the back of my computer case. Are there any splitters that have one VGA to two VGA connectors (Like some sort of Y-Cable)? Both of my flat screens have VGA connectors. I do have an S-Video output and RCA outputs on the back of the tower as well. So what options do I have here? Thanks guys, Brandon

You need either two cards or one card that has two output ports AND supports dual monitors- pretty hard to find ones that do not if they have two ports. Just splitting the single signal will only give you a mirror and I am not sure it will work with the reduction in strength

That Maxivista extends the desktop to two computers which looks to be the important factor with it. So it won't work with one computer and one video output.

Yes, this will be nice because I do have two computers and two flat panels. All I will have to do is get a router and hook both of them up. Then I will not have to go and buy another video card that supports two screens. I'll let you guys know how it works.
