Adding a second monitor to my GeForce 7950 GT

I've got a NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT card in my system (branded as XFX GeForce 7950GT). It is fanless and supports Dual DVI. I finally got around to adding a Dell 2005 FPW as my second monitor. And that lasted about 15 minutes.

Installation was a breeze on WinXP. But Half Life 2 Episode 2 would not play. This box is my primary home system and has to be able to be an OpenSolaris development machine as needed and also a gaming rig.

Also, when under moderate load, the Dell 2007 FPW (primary monitor), would shake in the background. Not impressive in the least.

Don't get me wrong - I love this graphics card when playing games. It matches nicely with the Dell 2007 FPW. And it is real quiet, which was a major draw for me. I'm just not going to run dual monitors on it.
