the situation is like this:
I've got two LCD monitors
The primary monitor(AGM A-19 1280x1024, 60Hz) is connected to the PCIe graphics card (HD 4650)
The second monitor (Philips something 1280x1024, 75Hz) is connected to the integrated gpu(HD 2100 or something like that)
How would I make a game run over those tw monitors?
I would connect the philips screen to the PCIe gpu, as it has a DVI input and my hd 4650 has a DVI output, but I don't have a proper cable so I connect it to the motherboard via VGA connection

The easiest way is to get a DVI cable. Then, depending on the game, you would either make it play over two monitors in the settings or in the CCC.
Gaming on only two monitors isn't that good of an idea. For FPSs, what you're shooting at is in the very middle; racing games: your car is split in half; MMO: your character and most important text in split, etc etc.
I never gamed with my two monitors, I just use one for gaming and the other for internet/IM.
OK, thanks anyway I haven't even thought of that
Some games support a world map on a secondary monitor, like the Supreme Commander games, but otherwise, dual monitor gaming isn't very good.
If you use something like SoftTH it will act like there is three monitors.
Of course you lose an entire screen worth of visual information, but atleast what you are shooting at is in the middle of a screen.
