"Low end" desktop computer (perhaps a Dell Inspiron 560 or 580) is running

64-bit Windows with integrated graphics (Intel GMA X4500) with the computer

monitor connected to the VGA port and a television connected to the HDMI

port.



The desire is to display one running program on the normal computer screen

while displaying another running program on the television screen.



QUESTIONS



1. Can I have two programs running and have one displayed on the computer

monitor and one displayed on the television screen using the integrated

graphics?





2. If so, can I change to have the same program displayed on BOTH screens?





3. If not, does it take a different (more advanced) separate graphics card

to be installed to be able to do this? What would be a fairly inexpensive

graphics card that would allow this to be done?







Thanks in advance for your assistance,



Bud H
