You'll need a video card, for which I would try Mygate computers. You
want an LC slot video card, which may well not be cheap. Obviously, you
may need to buy an adaptor from the video card to the PC connector on
the monitor. I'd suggest hanging the 14 inch off of the built in video,
and the 17 inch off of the video card, as it will probably do higher
resolutions.
