Second Video Card Compatability

[ds2007]

I just "built" a new computer, Win7 Pro and installed a HIS Radeon 6450 graphics card in pcie x16 slot and a sound card in one pcie x1 slot. I have 1 pcie x1 slot open and a pci slot. I will run 2 monitors off the 6450 I alread bought and need advice on second card, and slot location. Thanks in advance. One last thing, the second card needs to supply two monitor support.

What motherboard and what processor? Only asking because many new Intel processors when paired with an H61, H67, Z68, etc chipset will let you run two additional monitors via the Processor graphics.

Otherwise, pick up one of these:

Maybe you should return the 6450 and get a Sapphire FLEX 6770 - it supports 4 monitors and its only $130 at Newegg right now.
