Help you guys...I am thinking about adding a graphics acclerator and second monitor for MS Flight Sim 2002, but am getting a bunch of conflicting information from the sim guys and even from HP.
Some guys say I can just add a second monitor. Some say I should add a graphics card such as the GEFORCE4 MX440 to an available slot and some guys say my MOBO won't accept it and I should replace it. Some say that I can a graphics card to a sim slot, but I won't get 3D output from the second monitor.
If you were me, with my system and the ability to spend a couple of hundred bucks, what would you do?
Any thoughts ??? (and please remember I'm new at this stuff)MANY THANKS
