Splitting screens
I am trying to install a second monitor. Now, I am not try to have two displays, I am just after the exact same thing on each one, like an identical twin!!!!
Problem is I only have one plug, both monitors have the same type of plug, the little blue ones. Not the more modern long skinny ones.
Can I just use a splitter?
Do I need it amplified?

Just use a VGA splitter

But many/most modern video cards have two outputs and upgrading your card to a dual-head would'nt cost you much more than a splitter & you'd have many more options.
