Will it work?!▲!?

MrWazoo

Will plugging one monitor into my motherboard and another into my graphics card work? Will they be able to work as extensions of each other? Will this reduce stress on my video card so the one monitor connected to it gets all the attention? If im not using the built in graphics on my intel cpu, what will happen to the ~1.5 gbs of builtin VRAM? Does using the built in intel graphics strain resources that would otherwise be used for general processing? 

, thanks.

you need to plug both monitors into the gpu for them to be extensions i think
