What you'll need for independent displays (Extended Desktop) is either a second video card, or a replacement video card that has two or more outputs.

Alternatively, there are a lot of USB video expansion devices that allow you to add a separate independent display via USB, instead of having to mess about with installing hardware internally.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/will-a-split-cord-work/?ID=7f645807-7a14-4c71-b18f-a8a91b8b412d Wed, 24 Aug 2011 22:43:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/will-a-split-cord-work/?ID=7f645807-7a14-4c71-b18f-a8a91b8b412d DisplayFusion I have my monitor cord going from my tower splits and one goes to my monitor and the other goes to a projector. Will display fusion allow me to have two different screens, one on my overhead and a different one on my computer? Or do I have to buy some form of hardware for the tower to have two plugs going directly to the monitor and projector for them to be different?
Thank you,
