DVI to CRT

My nVidia GeForce 6600 has both VGA and DVI output. I have a 19" CRT, currently plugged into VGA, and a 17" CRT laying around with no purpose in life. LCD is too expensive where I live.

If I want a dual-monitor setup, can I hook either CRT to the 6600's DVI output? Neither monitor has DVI plugs, but I assume a VGA-DVI cable or adapter does exist and would suffice. Is that so, or would I need some kind of converter (like a VGA-box used to hook consoles to monitors)?

You don't have to use the GIMP. Look into buying an older version of Photoshop instead of using a dual-monitor setup (it's legal and pretty cheap).

Of all the stupid things you could assume, why did you pick the most unlikely?

I want two monitors because very often I have to deal with two documents at once, for comparison, translation or proofreading. Split-screen isn't so useful for that (19" CRT is not big enough for two pages if one values his eyesight) and printing one of them is rarely practical.

Of course, playing full-screen games while IM'ing is welcome, too. So, DVI to CRT, anyone?

To OP, yes there is such thing

its an adapter that usual comes with the vid card

check the online hardware vendors

I have a bag of 200 of these about six inches to my left

They come with most graphics cards that have a DVI slot. Check to make sure you don't already have one.

OP here. Indeed, it should had come with my video card. I'll have a kind word for my vendor next week.

Regardless, problem solved, multi-monitor goodness is functional. Thanks, everyone.
