PCI dual view video card?
I have an older PC (very quiet) that only has ONE slot, a regular PCI
(not PCI-e). The onboard video will no handle dualview, so, I need to find a standard PCI video card that offers dual view (one analog and one DVI output). Has anyone seen a card like this? This PC does not have AGP, but, could there be a PCI-AGP adaptor? So I could use a regular AGP card then? |

First off there are no pci to agp adapters they have completly different signalling and power setup's there are still some pci video cards available that have dual monitor support for instance the ATI radeon 9250 with 128Mb ram http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-ATi-Radeon...QQcmdZViewItem or if you prefer nvidia geforce 6200 with 256 Mb ram http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-256MB-nVid...QQcmdZViewItem the nvidia card would allow you to run your monitors at higher resoloutions than the Ati as it has more ram |

This PC does not have AGP, but, could there be a PCI-AGP adaptor? So I could use a regular AGP card then? There is a list of PCI cards here. There are cards from several different generations of video cards, so some of these would be three or four years old. Others are more recent. (For example, the Radeon 7000 would be a complete dog of a card. It is also the cheapest.) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...nd&Order=PRICE From Nvidia, the Geforce 6200 might be the most recent in the list. For ATI, the X1300/X1550 are one in the same, just rebranded, and would be ATI's latest in that list. Paul |

Paul Thanks, I found several on newegg, and I ordered the pny fx 5200 with 256 mb and dual vga output. I have used the 5200 before and I know it works very well, so, I expect this to work out ok for me. It is also fanless so my quiet PC will remain quiet. Not a gamer, just wanted more screen realestate since I have two lcd's now that are exactly the same and I can set them side by side. |

PCI video cards CANNOT handle the signal speed required for DVI. PCI to AGP
adapters are not possible to build due to signal speed differences. I'm afraid you're out of luck without upgrading your motherboard. -- --DaveW "surface9" wrote in message ...

PCI cards can't have DVI ? lol on the adapters, i do remember some odd bridge agp-pci stuff, it was rather obscure though like this http://www.kuroutoshikou.com/pickup/agp2pci.html the only situation i would recommend digging this sort of thing up is if you wanted it for a special setup or some such not where the buyer wanted to save money |
