We have Nvidia GeForce FX5500 in most of these systems already.
But when we add another ATI Radeon X1050 adapter, Vista do not allow dual
monitor display.

Please specifically tell me which adpater has dual ports for dual display
that work with Vista?

Doing your research for you is not part of this newsgroup's work.
We ar all users like you; and try and help each other.

You have to go to ATI or Nvidia site and find what you want.

Hi Andrea,

I cannot vouch for ATI, but the Nvidia range from the GeForce FX series
onwards supports Vista with dual monitor support on cards from the GeForce 6
range upwards. You can install more than one video card in your PC if your
motherboard supports this, but best results will come if you use identical
boards from the same manufacturer. Problems can arise when using different
cards, more so when one of the cards is based on the Nvidia GPU and the other
on the ATI GPU. This is because the different graphics drivers can conflict
with each other. In short, you should be able to use cards from both
manufacturers so long as you don't mix and match them.

There are dozens to choose from

Mick, Yes, I went to ATI and Nvidia web site. I have done my research.
This 2 are only IC makers. They do not make display adapaters.
This 2 web sites do NOT show any dual port display adapters from any
suppliers.

Thank you for your response.
But, it would be simple for us if we can get one display adapters with dual
display output driving dual monitors. However, not driving the two monitors
as identical display, but as dual monitors extending the Vista Windows
display. Is there such low cost display adpaters?
