Got a new gfx card that doesn't do VGA and I've got a VGA monitor to hook up to it as a second monitor. The card itself has 1 hdmi out, 1 dvi-d out and three display ports. No. 1 is using the hdmi and I don't have a display port socket in either monitor, so given what I've got, it's going dvi-d to generic DVI then a DVI to VGA them plugging the monitor in. I've ordered a DVI to VGA connector from the eBay to get it tidied up.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a
