I'm setting up dual monitors and wish to keep my graphics card that I have and just add a cheap dual headed graphic card. Can I do this and still use the graphic card that I have currently?

I use my computer a lot to encode dvd's to xvid but want to make it faster. I was wondering which of these two would encode movies faster using a program called godian knot. 2 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s in a raid 0 config, or should i upgrade my OCZ Platinum Revision 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) to 4GB

here are the stats on my computer:
stats: XFX MB-N590ASH9 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) XION Supernova XON-600F14R-201 ATX 600W Certified Power Supply Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

i have recently fitted a dedicated sound card to replace the onboard sound however when i try to installl the cards applications(control panel) the card reinstalls the drivers and then windows wont boot(strange!)
is there any universal sound control panels that will work with any sound card so i can change various settings
then again what do you expect for a £7 6 channel pci sound card by c-media,i think i will invest in a soundblaster audigy for around £20
any ideas guys ?

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. :)

Ive just scanned my computer and it told me all the stuff i need to know. It also said that i need to install memory in pairs.

Please answer thanks.

Which is better for money,I have a Nvidia 8600GT.

Would it be better getting a 2nd 8600GT in an SLI config.

Or Buying a Nvidia 8800GT 320MB ?

PS: Please remember that the 8800 is £130, and another 8600 is only £75

My computer was wiped clean, and most documents were kept. My computer won't play sound, or pc games like Sims, though. It says it coudn't find a compatible audio or Graphics (DirectX) card. The Windows XP recovery disc was used, but the cards just won't work. ?

I'm at a loss ! My husband practically lives on his PC and I can't think what to get. The PC itself is like a year old and has already been upgraded beyond belief, he has external hard drives, card readers, web cams, wireless mouse,photo printers, digital cameras, scanners etc etc etc He's not into new games or USB gadgets like lamps and stuff. Any ideas ??
