HD4000 Dual Monitors

[f4llens]

First of all sorry for the so-many-times-asked-about-theme. I've got a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 board and 3770K, the HD4000 works just fine (with this workaround http://www.tonymacx86.com/150-enabli...herboards.html). I use my Hack for music recording, now it's completely silent. But I want the second monitor, and don't want to add some noisy and hot videocard only to connect the second display. So the question is: will I be able to set up the multiple display desktop if I say change my motherboard to some Gigabyte Z77? And if not, how can I add the second display while keeping my workstation silent? Thank you.

The HD4000 internal gfx should be able to get you dual monitors with no trouble, but you want a combination of DVI/HDMI, DVI/DP or HDMI/DP.
The D-Sub VGA doesn't work well (or at all in some builds).

Here is a pic from a build I did lately using HDMI and DVI from a 3570K.

Thank you for the reply. But I got the question: does the second display extends the desktop or just mirror it? The second option is of no use to me, cause I need two different workspaces to be displayed on the two different monitors.
