I want to add a second monitor to my PC, I currently have a 17" 4:3 (1280x1024) one, and I will buy a 18.5" 16:9 (1366x768) one (I can't find a monitor with same specs as the current and I can't afford 2 monitors)
One of them is connected with DVI and the other one is VGA,
Could I configure the video card (an HD5450) so both of them would use they respective native resolution or I would be condemned to view a distorted and blurred image on one of the monitors?
Because with a laptop with an HD5470, if I connect a 4:3 external monitor, it shows fine but the laptop screen is distorted (because it is 16:10) and I can't set different resolutions for each screen.
Many thanks.

I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
