How can I monitor another computer?

How can I plug another computer screen if I only got 1 monitor tab behind my computer tower i got 2 screens?

  • Answer:

    You can't really. Your single head card is not designed to run multiple screens. There are hardware boxes that you can get to do exactly this - but to be honest you would be better off investing the money in a better GFX card

You can't. You will have to buy a card.

It depends. You can get a monitor signal splitter which will give you two identical monitor signals showing the exact same thing on two separate monitors. check out radio shack, or other big electronics stores like Fry's. Or you can get a video card that supports dual monitors. These can show separate images on two different monitors. For these, check out newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, or again fry's.

As it is you can't. (Actually there is a device that make your two 1024 by 768 monitors look like a single 2048 by 768 monitor to the system, but I would not recommend it. Especially as it is cheaper to:) Buy a new video card with dual heads. They are reasonably cheap, unless you go for a ripper gaming version, and will give better video performance than any on-board video system.
