Multi-monitor is supported on most Intel® 82915G or 82945G Express Chipset Family-based systems using PCI video cards to support additional monitors. With the latest Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers for the Intel 82915G or 82945G express chipset family, the integrated video can be either the primary or secondary display adapter. Multi-display is not possible with the onboard display and a PCI Express* add-in card (the PCI Express card will disable the onboard graphics).

System requirements for multi-monitor:

• Integrated Intel 82915G or 82945G Express Chipset Family
• PCI video card(s) that support(s) multi-monitor
• Two or more monitors
• Microsoft Windows* 2000/XP
• Intel 82915G or 82945G express chipset family-based motherboard that supports multi-monitor
• The latest Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers for the Intel 82915G or 82945G Express Chipset Family

1. Install the latest Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Drivers for the Intel 82915G or 82945G express chipset family.
   
   
2. Power off the computer and install the PCI video card.
   
   Note: Opening the system case may void the warranty on some systems. Check with the system manufacturer before opening the system case.
   
   
3. Attach the second monitor to the PCI video card.
   
   
4. Power on the computer and install the drivers for the PCI video card. Check with the video card manufacturer for instructions on installing the drivers for the PCI video card.
   
   
5. Restart the computer.
   
   
6. Click Start » Settings » Control Panel » Display » Settings tab and click on the picture of monitor, and then click on the Yes button to enable the second monitor
   
   
7. Click the Apply button. The secondary monitor should now be enabled

Note: To reverse the primary and secondary display adapters, enter the BIOS setup and look for a setting called "Primary Video Adapter" or something similar. Set this to "PCI" if the PCI video should be the primary display adapter. Set it to "Integrated" or "Onboard" if the integrated video should be the primary display.
