Optiplex 755

Hi

Does anyone know if this PC can have dual display by installing a low graphics card and using the on-board at same time

I have been given another monitor in work and several graphics cards but not had a chance to test it as it was late in the day last week

I am also being told by a colleague that once a graphics card is plugged in it cancels out the on-board?

Any help would be great

Thanks

Your colleague is correct. You can only use onboard or add on.

So is my only option to purchase something like this?

We use that model of PC at my work. I have USB-DVI or USB to VGA adapters installed for the second monitors.

This is exactly how we play this as well.

Have half a dozen of them. Used dualhead video cards for all of them. You can find ATI 2400pros pretty cheap I bet.

My co-working has the Optiplex 745 running dual monitors with VGA onboard and DVI via PCI-e.

The PCI-e card must be a Dell card, but it is possible to run both PCI-e and onboard.
