Im trying to install 2 monitors in my pc, for movie purposes...

Well I have an Integrated SiS 330 Mirage and a AGP card Radeon 9250/9200... I havent been able to activate both at the same time.

Is it possible to have both video cards activated at the same time or AGP will always deactivate the integrated SiS?

From what I can recall, you can't have both activated at one time. The only way to have dual monitors is to buy a graphics card with dual vga or dvi (if your monitors are dvi) outputs.

Here's some ATI cards with dual output...http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Componen...hics-Cards-ATI there's also Nvidia cards on that site too. Pretty good prices. + check out Amazon aswell. Free delivery is great.

I assume you want to extend the movie onto two monitors (extended desktop mode) not the same screen on each monitor?

You need a graphics card with dual output.

Thanks for the info, but thinking about it I dont need the extended desktop mode, I just need to show the same desktop but in another monitor, the thing is that my friends and i watch movies at home, but we are TOO MANY already, so I want to have to monitors, you ask why i dont try with projecting and stuff, the thing is that is at "work place" we cannot actually project it.

Thanks anyway.

No problem. If you just want two monitors showing the same output, you could just buy a vga splitter such as one of these:

This a much cheaper option!

Hope this helps!
