Just got new HP PAV a6110n PC with 19" flatscreen...do alot of photoshop work, video, etc. Still have a great ViewSonic LCD monitor that has usb ports at the base that are connected to the monitor. Monitor also has the old Pin type connection to PC...how if possible do I set up to run both monitors? My PC does have extra usb ports in the back...and the new flat screen uses usb to connect. Thx

The USB ports are irrelevant; hooking up the USB cable on the monitor to your PC simply enables the USB ports on the monitor. To run dual monitors, you need a dual-head video card or two video cards. Check the back of your PC. If you have only one video output, you have a single-head card. If you have two video outputs (probably one SVGA and one DVI, or two DVIs on newer computers) you're in good shape. You may need an SVGA-to-DVI adapter; they're only a few dollars. However DVI won't drive many older SVGA monitors.
