GeForce 7100 & Multiple Monitors Will the GeForce 7100 support dual monitors?
I am using a HP a6300f PC with 4gb of RAM using Windows 7. It cam with the GeForce 7100 preinstalled. I use a Samsung 2253 bw monitor running at 60hz. I do not play advanced games. The monitor and the video card both have dual jacks. VGA and DVI. I have never been able to get the DVI to work by itself and it will not work trying to use dual monitors. My question is this: Will this video card support dual monitors? Do I need to replace this card with another? If so, what type card should I get?

If the card has dual DVI ports, then you can probably run dual monitors. But that's gonna be a weak card because it's built into the board and it's sharing system ram. My suggestion is to get a separate card and disable the onboard one in the bios.
