I have an LCD monitor VGA only, and a CRT (obviously VGA). Rig has GeForce 6600GT AGP (VGA, DVI, S-Video). Running Vista Home Premium. Questions: 1. Will Vista support this setup (I know my card will)? 2. Do I need anything other than a Male DVI to Female VGA Adapter (In Order To Utilize Both VGA and DVI Connection)? 3. Or do you think it is better to use a VGA splitter? 4. Also, does Vista allow different content on each monitor or does it have to be split view of desktop or windows... etc.? This is my first time out with dual monitors, so I want to get everything in one whack or not get anything if Vista doesn't support different content on each monitor. Please don't answer if with "Vista Sucks", "Get XP". This is what I have to work with.

1) Yes it should. (But Vista does suck and XP is better IMHO. Sorry you are stuck with it)
2) Just the DVI-A to VGA adapter.
3) Do NOT get a VGA splitter cable - same image on both and messed up.
4) Yes. Run in extended mode rather than clone.

What photos card is it? nVidia has an selection for twin exhibit screen help, a tick field. after which you would be able to set each and each exhibit screen up with the photos card (2 taking part in cards would be on the drop down record). you could click which exhibit screen is which, and a sort will represent it, and all you do is pick the different card for the different exhibit screen. would desire to be extremely user-friendly, seen as there's a tab interior of nVidia/Ati for this.
