I have been trying to install a GeForce 8400 video card in my W3502 emachine but have not had any luck. I have asked several of the Gateway support techs but all I was able to get was that they do not recommend replacing anything other than original components!! I just want to run dual monitors for spreadsheets not gaming. When I install the card the machine will not boot up as it normally does, the fans seem to be running at full speed and there is no video on either mointor. I also asked the techs aty Gateway about upgrading the BIOS (the download is on their site) but again no real answer. Will I have to buy another CPU to run dual monitors or is there a work around for this machine. It has an available PCI express slot; I thought it would be simple but I’m beginning to think otherwise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I have a Dell GX240 & GX260 could one of these be upgraded to run dual moniters.
Thanks,
