    Can i hook two screen up to my pc ?

    Well i love to bot..
    but i hate "baby Sitting" so i like to watch tv when its botting but with all bots they can sometime get stuck in randoms and what ever..

    i use my tv as my pc screen also so i cant do both at the same time..
    i was wondering if its possible to have a smaller screen to show my bot while im watching tv so i can check up on it easy without having to change to av and back every so often.

    but so i can still use my pc through both screens sort of.

    i know i dont describe it very well but it is hard to think of what i mean lol

    yea just go to bestbuy and ask them for a cable thatll let u do it

    well if i understand u right, ur trying to have 2 monitors hooked up to your computer, if this is the case then yes what i said above was correct.
    also it depends on the type of comp u have and all that but im pretty sure any comp made after 02 or 03 would let u do it

    Just plug another monitor in to your vga slot. If you have a couple of them.

    If you have 2 VGA slots, just hook up a VGA to both monitors running from your PC.

    If you only have 1 VGA and 1 DVI, use a DVI converter and stick a VGA in that instead.

    Ya, it should be relatively simple actually
    you shouldn't even need any extra hardware

    you can use a KVM switch to switch the input to your tv by pressing a button. depending on the connection you have
