Default Could I use a DVI splitter with my 4870x2?

I obtained an old dell monitor from a friend and I wanted to use it along side my current monitor, but my rad blocks the second dvi-port on my 4870x2. Could I use a dvi splitter to remedy this problem or will I have to take off my rad to install the other monitor? Thanks in advance!

You could use a splitter, but you'll only get a cloned desktop that way. If you want dual desktops you have to use the other port.
