    What is the cheapest way to allow me to use 2 monitors? I have Intel GMA900 onboard graphics and an ATI TV Wonder Pro TV tuner card. I don't play DVDs or games on my computer. I want to use 2 monitors, watch TV, and don't want to decrease the performance that I'm currently getting from my graphics.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    ]in short no, unless you happen to have two onboard video outs, but after searching i don't think the tv tuner supports and video out, even them i think its only one video out. OK so all you need to do is find the the cheapest graphics card you can that supports dual displays. for example i found this eVGA Geforce 6200 LE TC 128-TC-2N27-SX Video Card - Retail at Newegg.com thats just one in a whole list, just make sure that it says dual display or view in the features

    That eVGA would work. However, if you're using 2 analog monitors this BFG GeForce 6200TC has a DVI- to 15-pin D-sub adapter.

    Thanks for the input. I think I am going to go with the BFG card.
