    I have a stock Dell GX 280 Tower. It's p4 3gz. The video card in there right now is the original factory. What upgardes are required to run this system on two monitors? Really dont need anything graphics driven. Just trying to multitask a few programs at once.

    there's a few ways to do it, but they depend on if your video card supports it. Best thing you can do is buy a new video card like an HD3850 or something cheap like that and stick it in.

    Would I have to keep the factory card in also, after I install the video card?
