Vista - supports dual monitors?

i'm planning on getting the
ATI Radeon X1600 Pro AGP


and i'm wondering if it will support dual monitors through the vga and dvi input..

Yep, it will.

as long as it's got 2 outputs.. then your good. just look at it's pictures on newegg or something.. that easy Sir..

I just got myself Dual screens today actuakky.. added a 19LCD to my 226BW sammy.. I've nevr had 2.. but loving it so far..

Good Luck!

I had the x1650 Pro and I used it with dual monitors....

I *highly* suggest that you invest in Realtime Soft UltraMon - best investment you'll ever make in terms of being *easily* able to enable / disable the secondary monitor, as well as easily be able to set every thing up - with this (although it is shareware) you'll never need to install the bulky buggy ATI CCC again - just grab the drivers only and the Avivo download (if you want / need that for the x1600) and you're golden.

The Ultramon software has a lot more features than just dual monitor management - it's smart taskbar is a godsend - you can set it to mirror mode, so that all apps appear on both taskbars, or you can set it to 'independent' mode- so that apps on monitor one are only on that taskbar and apps on monitor 2 are only on that taskbar....

It also has a whole slew of other features....

But, again, it is ***not*** free.

I bought it when I had the x1650 Pro to make life easier for me on my severely old machine, and have since bought the 64bit version for Vista 64 bit - works like a champ, even though it is still a 'beta' release for version 3.0....

oh ok i figured it supported dual monitors just trying to make sure.

and yeah right now i'm running dual monitors and using ultramon. it's amazing.

thanks for the information guys.

also another question...

an AGP 8x video card is backwards compatible with an AGP 4x mobo right?

yup - within limits.
