Dual Monitors

[BattZ]

My brother just bought a new-ish computer for a business, and wants to have dual monitors on it, but his video card only has a VGA and HDMI out, but apparently neither of the monitors he has supports HDMI. I think he was thinking of using the on-board graphics, it is a Intel chip-set, in conjunction with the video card, an ATI radeon HD 3400. I had him set the active video to the motherboard graphics, and now the computer doesn't see the ATI card in the device manager. He tried everything I could thing of, and everything google could thing of too. Since I'm extremely tired, I thought I might have just missed a simple little fix, so here I am.

Is there a way to do this without buying a new card or monitor? He doesn't want to spend much more on this then he already has, since it's a small business

When you install a dedicated graphics card, most motherboards will disable the built in card (with some exceptions with regards to hybrid SLi). If one of the monitors has DVI you can use a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Some of the newer AMD chipsets will allow you to use an IGP in conjunction with an AMD card, but I've never tested it. Its usually listed as a feature though.

Yea, that's what I've read somewhere, put I wanted to be sure. I guess I might just send him one of my old video cards with 2 VGA outs, since I don't think the motherboard supports it.
