So I buy an AsRock Conroe 1333 DVI board, figuring, great deal, it's got dual monitors built in. It does, but what I didn't know was that the DVI daughtercard is DVD-D out only, and both my monitors are VGA-only. So much for that bright idea--no such thing as a cheap adapter for DVD-D to VGA.

Back to square one: I need a cheap way to get dual screens on a hackintosh. Any suggestions for a card that's known to work? I don't need super-duper mega graphics, and getting an ATI x1900-ish card would be about the same price as just buying a DVI monitor. I'm looking to spend a lot less cash than that.

Any ideas? System details follow:

Asrock Conroe 1333 DVI mobo, C2D 6400 (2.4GHz)
2GB RAM
SATA 500GB HD
SATA LG DVD-RW-DL
IDE DVD-RW-DL
OS X 10.4.9, updated from JaS 10.4.8 SSE2/3 AMD-Intel installer, kernel 8.9.1.

nvidia 7300gt or gs seems to be quite popular on hackintoshes

2nd the 7300gt

Did you try a dual monitor 945,965, or 975 motherboard. they have vga out. 945 is pretty cheap too and has QE/CI supported out of the box !

Okaaaay.... got a 7300GT, and I've loaded Natit kexts until I'm blue in the face, but no dual monitors. Any suggestions?

Did you use the Natit v0.2 dual? The regular Natit is only for one monitor. The video will go off for about 15 seconds during boot, but don't get worried and reboot. It's normal.

Yep. No joy. Tried installing manually and with Diabolik's installer, still nothing from the DVI port.

Is it going to take a full re-install to get this to work?
