Ok, well anyone who knows anything about computers can probably help me here...

I am finally getting around to replacing my crappy, slow, PT-hating laptop. I want to buy the Dell Dimension 8400 but I also want a second monitor so I am going to go with the Dell 2001FP that everyone speaks so highly of. My stupid question is, what do I need to buy in order to hook up the 2001 to my desktop? Or does everything that I need come packaged with the second monitor?

Thanks in advance for helping out a luddite. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

nothing.

i have very model you speak of and it comes w/ the GeForce 8400 video card that is dual-headed; and your flat panel can use the dvi head. you can set up dual monitors w/o any additional config...
