Can i use dual monitors with the HP Slimline s3720y or do i need to buy an another video card?

Right now i am looking to possible buy a second monitor. as i do a lot of multi tasking on my computer.

is there a splitter i could buy. so like i watch something on hulu on one

well surfing the web on the other and what not



if i can't do that will my computer be able to add one a second video card.



thanks for your help|||The HP Slimline s3720y uses onboard graphics, meaning there is no actual dedicated card in the computer. you cannot run dual monitors on integrated graphics, im sorry. you will need to buy a low profile dual header graphics card to run 2 monitors. There are a few of these on the market, the problem is the HP Slimline s3720y has a 160w power supply. so, if you want to upgrade graphics you will most likely also need to upgrade your power supply. I would suggest buying a new cheap computer that comes with a dual header card, because it will only cost a bit more than having to upgrade both the psu and graphics, and buying a new system you would upgrade all of your components.|||Don't go out and buy a new computer. Have one built. You can get alot better performance for cheaper.
