Dual Display question..

[Deleted member 21895]

quick question.. I've got an x800 xt running my 2005fpw from DVI and an older 15'' lcd from VGA... I know that graphics cards only support 2 monitors at a time.. but can it support 2 and mirror one?

reason being, I have a 32'' sony trinitron that I've got an s-video cable going to and I want it to just mirror the main monitor... I was about to throw in an older graphics card for the sole purpose of mirroring this tv but was wondering if it was possible to display 2 and mirror 1 (since I know its impossible to display 3 on one graphics card)

Im pretty sure the answer is no, I just wanted to check real quick before I actually open he computer up and stick in another graphics card just for this purpose

I went ahead and put the older graphics card in there and now have 3 displays running... Im somewhat impatient, and since no one replied within the first 5-10 minutes I went ahead and put it in
