I'm thinking about getting a dual display setup with two 20" widescreen LCDs. I have a NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GS video card with a VGA and DVI output. Can I plug a monitor in each one or would I have to have two separate video cards?

I'd really like to have a dual display setup so I can have my cubase project on one monitor and then have my mixer and plugins on the other monitor.

Though I might have a problem fitting both monitors on my desk with my KRKs. I'll just have to rig something.

I have a on older GForce 6200 or something. It has VGA and DVI. I use it for dual screens with great results.

Shouldn't be a problem, as it works great for me.

(i also plug my laptop external vga port into the LCD that is plugged to my rig via DVI. I just don't turn both on at the same time).

2X20 will be schweeeet!

Cool. I just wanted to make sure before I start buying monitors. Now I just have to wait for my tax refund to come in.
