9500np...Can I do this?

[wannaoc]

I have a 9500np card , the one in my sig, I am running a crt monitor on it and want to also run a 5" lcd screen as part of a case mod I have going. Can I use the round center plug, forgot what its called at the moment, to run the lcd while also using the the other plug for my normal crt? Can this be done or should I go ahead with a pci graphics card to run the lcd?

You mean the black s video? I'm not too familiar with the 9500np, but I'd still like to help out if I can. If you want to just show on the lcd what the crt shows, I guess it depends on the controller you have. Some of them have the s vid inputs.

If your lcd is anything like these, I'm guessing it should work, but don't hold me to it.

I see at least one that specifically says s video in, and most of the others have the yellow video jack.

yes you can do that all you have to do is set it so both run at the same time. this setting can be found in your driver config (right click desktop, properties, setting, advanced, display (i think), and plug in your lcd and activate it. if you get stuck when doing this feel free to PM me. :) good luck

Yea it's the s-video one, I guess I'll have to get a s-video > rca adapter then I'll give it a try. Thanks, I'll post some pics of it finished.
