Dual Monitor
In order to enable “Dual Monitor” Function, users must have “

Note1:
We recommend you should use our tested PCI Express graphics
cards, and you can visit our website for the updated PCI Express
graphics card support list : http://www.mercury-pc.com/
support.php.
Please be noted we DO NOT guarantee any PCI Express graphics
cards which are not in our support list.
Note2:
To install the system with an add-on PCI Express graphics card, you
must make sure to install the driver of add-on PCI Express graphics
card before you install the onboard VGA driver. If the onboard VGA
driver has already been installed before you install the add-on PCI
Express graphics card, the system will set the onboard VGA as the
primary graphics adapter automatically. In this situation, if you want
to install the add-on PCI Express graphics card, you need to remove
the onboard VGA driver first, and then install the add-on PCI
Express graphics card and its driver.
Note3:
To perform a normal installation of PCI Express graphics card, you
need to install the driver under Windows XP with the Service Pack 1
(SP1).
