    Even easier, connect the second monitor to the video card, no need for the onboard video. The only way the monitors being a different size is if you set them to clone mode (both display the same thing, a waste of time unless you're doing presentations or something). Just set the second monitor to extended mode and you should be good to go.

    ahhhh ok, so i would need an adapter for the analog monitor, since the video card has a dual digital connector ?

    Yes you will. The card should have come with one.
