    Ok, situation is i have a radeon 8500 graphics card, i wanted dual monitors. this card is supposed to be capable of dual display, it has DVI so i was just wondering how i would hook up the 2nd monitor to have dual monitors :D

    Also, would the display be a spanned desktop or just a mirrored one?

    cheers :)

    Yeah, if you had bought a retail radeon built by ati you would have got a dvi to vga adapter. I presume you didn't get one with your LE so your best bet is to try for sale forums and ebay or even do a search for online stores doing them.
