Gigabyte 8500LE

[Lummoxx]

On this card, it has a VGA out, and the other one that I can see in the picture.

The other one doesn't appear to be a VGA out, so what good is it? Is there an adapter (included?) that would allow me to hook up a second monitor? If so, how well does it do the dual monitors?

I was really tempted to get the Visiontek MX440, because it has 2 VGA out's, but don't want to settle for an MX.

Thanks.

edit - nevermind, I'm not going to buy one of these anyway. I'd be stupid to not wait for a ti4200 to come out...stupid stupid stupid!!

That thread got me looking, and interested, but I think I can wait until the 4200's come out.

It's not really necessary, but I'm also interested in the dual display. Had some time and did some poking around (yay Google), and I've since learned that a DVI to VGA converter does exist, so I guess having dual monitors is very easy, without having to buy a new monitor that uses DVI.

Hopefully, the card I pick will come with a converter so I can plug in my multiple monitors.

This card can NOT do dual VGA at the same time. Only Flat panel and VGA together.

you just need to get a converter dongle.. to go from DVI to CRT.. I run Dual Crt's with my Radeon8500.. but it came with the dongle..

Oh, well that stinks. I guess those assumptions will get me everytime.

Thanks!
