Is it possible? I have an ati radeon 9200 and have a vga, a s-vid, and some other video out device. im not sure how i could have two monitors other than adding a tv monitor.. Im not going to go out and buy a new gfx card or a tv anytime soon. so im wondering how i can connect another lcd monitor onto my computer. i was thinking about getting one of these.

and get a female to female connector to the vga out and a male to male on the s-video side. but i dont know if it will work since they dont sell any of those types of svideo output to vga connectors. If they do, i cant find any online.. if anyone can direct me on this, it would be great.

Hi Mailyfesu,
Often these videoboards will have both a regular VGA (analog RGB) and a Digital Link (DVI) connector.
The DVI is roughly similar in size & shape but it's white, at least it is white on my Radeon.
There is an adapter to convert DVI to VGA - it is often included as an accessory with the video board, in case you wish to connect two regular monitors. You can buy one, they're inexpensive.
Using the TV-out has its own unique challenges, and you may find you can run only 1 or the other but not both, and your PC refresh will become 60Hz (I get a headache just thinking about it ;^) so that would be your last resort,
Regards

Why not? Yours is junk ($39 = disposable).
You say you have 2 LCD monitors to hookup? They are not inexpensive.
Your vidcard is (and, it will not connect 2 displays unless one of them is a television).

Here is an inexpensive 128MB Asus GeForce ($55 bucks Canadian!) that will connect your 2 monitors.
You can easily spend $10 or $20 bucks buying little adapters & cables trying to hookup, just not worth it.
The FX5200 is not enough for most folks, but you will think you've gone to heaven :^)
