Now here’s an interesting method to adding additional video cards to your desktop PC or laptop – add an IOGear USB 2.0 External Video Card. Yup – you heard me. An external video card. Simply attach this device to a free USB 2.0 port and then connect another monitor to the video card device. You’ll quickly enjoy the multi-monitor lifestyle (I sure do!).

Features of the IOGear USB 2.0 External Video Card include:

  • USB 2.0 support
  • Resolution up to 1280 x 1024
  • Optional power port
  • Supports Windows 2003, XP
  • 5Volt consumption
  • 1 female VGA port and 1 USB 2.0 port
  • Measures 6.25 x 2 x 6.5 inches
  • Bus powered  – no external power supply needed

So if you’re like me – you’re wondering “Can this really be a useful alternative to adding an internal video card?” Well the folks at EverythingUSB have published a review of the product and here’s the verdict:

IOGEAR’s USB 2.0 External Video Card is great for office users that need multiple displays but don’t have any means of installing a second video card. Otherwise, an internal solution will provide better performance for less money.
