Thanks to Neebler for answering my questions earlier, I have a second part to that question. I accidentally closed the question I guess.

Thanks for the information on the VGA to video. Is it really cheaper to to get a new video card than to buy the VGA to video converter? If so, what video card would you recommend?

For the dual monitors I would have to have the KVM, plus the dual graphics cards bought separately from the KVM ?

Will the graphic cards that I have work with the KVM for dual monitors or will I have to get new ones? If so, what dual graphics cards get the job done, but aren’t so pricey?

I see that the KVM works by just pushing a button and switching between monitors. I would like to be able to drag my mouse off my computer and go to the next screen, but by using the kvm seems to be a good way for dualing. :)

Was trying to delete Temp Internet files - Had to reload AOL. The screen on it is also all messed up - it's huge! Checked color and seem to have lost the ability to have 32 bit. Apply button doesn't let me change anything and 32 bit is no longer an option. Please help.

I got my computer (hp) 5 months ago
it was working so good and i had no problems with what so ever
recently I am facing this problem , MY COMPUTER DOESN'T RESTART, no matter how long i wait the windows( vista) doesnt restart.
and sometimes when i shut it down and i try to turn it on again it takes me three to 5 or more times switching on and off to make it work !!
my wireless also doesnt work sometimes !! although it's on and it should be blue light it always gives me a yellow light which means it's switched off !!

I've learned several things about Linux already, and I'm pretty sure it will fit my needs more than Windows or Mac. I'm not sure which Linux distribution is better for me though.

I am going to buy a new laptop, and I will either buy it stocked with Linux distribution, or buy one that isn't partitioned-for-windows. I don't really want to bother with trying out the distribution on CD, I just want to start.
I am taking C++ programming and am going to take Java very soon, I'm going to do lots of programming on the PC. However, unlike most of my classmates, I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the computer. I'd say the most advanced thing I've done is alter the pixels on a file from one of my games. So, I'm not a new user, I'm not a pro.

I'm very willing to pay money for the distribution one-time. I want lots of apps and support, for low-graphix-games, reports for school, internet, IM, and programming. I want reliable security support, and apps to get. Thank you for help.

ok here is the problem, i have a sixteen year old son that loves to play online poker. I have tried many ways to block the poker sites but somehow he still gets through them. i am sick of downloading parental blockers, so my friend told me there was a way in which u could specify a word such as "poker" and block it from web access,like if he typed in the word poker, the internet would automatically not display wat he was looking for. If anyone knows how to do this i would be so thankful. please please help. i am worried about him.

I enjoy debating on the IMDB and though I do not take anything personal, never participate in name-calling or allow my threads to get emotional, I saw someone say they could track another poster down via their IP address.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Sometimes it will come back on but mostly it won't. Sometimes when I restart it comes back but usually only for a few minutes and sometimes it won't at all. I have a wireless connection!

I need a computer that's secure and not as prone to hackers and viruses, ect., that's fast, THAT WILL LAST LONG, not crash, can handle minor business programs, can use media easily, that will have some good support, and can run the internet with no worries or hiccups. I really am considering an iMac, but I'm worried about the freezing a little bit, and it's rather new. I've used Macs before (that's really why I want to switch, I prefer them) but I need to think of the rest of the house, with some business, and of course, security. Macs are secure, for the most part, and I'm planning on putting virus software on it, just in case. But, I need some advice, and no flames on Mac vs Windows. I really need some help, and no, I'm not getting Ubunto/Linux or whatever.
