Dual Monitors?

[:odey:]

I want a second monitor for my computer,
But my brother told me that, 'i'd have to check if my graphics card was good enough to handle for dual monitors',
What would I need to check?
How would I know if it's compatible?
I'm going for the fact that it has too slots, does that make it compatible?

Check to see if it has 2 monitor ports

Check to see if it has 2 monitor ports

It has two of the same ports,
I read somewhere they have to be different?
Is that true?

[mrwoooooooo]

no its not

[:odey:]

And last question,
Do they have to be the same make / resolution monitor?

[Jutnux]

no they do not but it's cooler if they are

cause 3 same models are better than multi colour multi resolution multi size monitors (even if you do have a fake monitor but i won't go into that lol ;))

Actually it's better if they're the same so that way you know the GPU can handle two monitors.
