Readers may recall I was hunting for a dual-head GFX card. Well I'm now the proud owner of an ATI Radeon 9550, which like most dual-headers has 1 x VGA and 1 x DVI.

Both my monitors are VGA, with pluggable leads. For space reasons I can't use the normal plug-type adapter, but I've seen a 1.8m monitor lead with DVI on one end and VGA on the other at Rapid Electronics for about £5. However, they're out of stock. So if anyone has one of these clever leads spare and wants a fiver for it, please let me know

D3eano did the business - hurrah!

Now I have the hardware, I can't find anything in the BIOS to switch from mobo gfx to the new card
