Help with Dual monitors on Alienware aurora R-4
Hello ive been struggling trying to get my dual monitors set up on my aurora r-4. I currently have two dell monitors that connects with a vga While my aurora r-4 has two dvi connections on it. ive been trying to find the cable i need for it and can i just get two dvi- vga adapters seperately and itll function as a dual monitor?

hmm well i read the yahoo answers and apparently my graphic card does not accept two dvi connections (i have two dvi-vga connectors)
i cant find crossfire in catalyst and yes ill buy a hdmi -vga connector it should fix the issue. (i used dvi because that was the connector they gave me when i ordered my aurora r4 and i assumed i just needed another dvi-vga to get my dual monitor to function.

thanks although honestly i regret buying this alienware computer. i did some research. I should've asked some friends for helping in picking parts and custom built it lol. (sorry im on a tilt as either my mother board or some other part is starting to die out and i just got the dual monitor to work thanks again!)
