Hi there

I'm trying to add the second screen to the computer, but there is only one slot on the motherboard - any suggestions?

Several methods you could use.

A second PCI Graphics card (Win2k / XP)
This may be complicated to set up and configure, also could make the system run slower especially as it is a PCI not AGP graphics card.

A Matrox G500 Dual Head AGP video card (Win2k / XP)
We have a lot of experience with these cards and there is an FAQ on how to enable them here on the forums, these cards are approx £75.00

An ATI AGP dual output card (XP ONLY)
We have just started looking at these, they seem good value, however we have not found any compatible Win2k drivers, and as we have only just ratified the OS we have no long term testing.
