    Very basic pci express video card questions

    Update: As I don't need to run the latest 3D games, I picked up a PNY Geforce 2 7300GS. Comes with DVI, VGA and S-Video Outputs (and includes a component video adaptor and DVI to VGA adapter). Set up quickly, running a 19" LCD and a 17"CRT with no problems. Very cool, indeed! Thanks for the...

    Very basic pci express video card questions

    Newbie to the world of pci-e. Wondering whether all pci-e video cards that have two outputs (e.g., VGA/D-sub and DVI) are capable of running dual monitor support. The guy at CompUSA said the box specifically had to state "dual monitor support." Also, if you use a DVI to VGA converter on the...

    Need advice in buying a video card for dual monitors

    I am also interested in this setup. However, I am a bit concerned that the dual outputs (dvi and vga) will only output the exact same thing. Do I really need 2 cards to create the dual monitor effect -- or can it be done with one of the cards propellerhead has listed above? Thanks in advance...

    Wisconsin's NO CALL list goes Live!! - and links to other states

    Spwango: I believe you are in a distinct minority of people in the USA who are *not* in favor of a no-call list. You are, of course, free to have your opinion. I am very glad this option exists and if it were not for the legislature, this would not have occurred. Sometimes, the government...

    Pinnacle's Studio DV Version 7 $19.99 after $50 rebate @ Ciruit City...FIREWIRE inside

    No power connector needed (other than the power from the PCI slot). I just opened the installation manual and confirmed this. There is no mention of plugging in any power connectors. You just install it in a PCI slot and you're good to go.

    Pinnacle's Studio DV Version 7 $19.99 after $50 rebate @ Ciruit City...FIREWIRE inside

    They're not all gone yet! I just picked one up at one of my local Circuit City (we have 3 in town). It was the last one they had. However, one of the other stores told me it's expecting two more in tomorrow. Don't give up on this deal yet. $19.99 for a firewire card, a DV cable and editing...

    Yep, pulled from Gateway's website. As in, you can't get this deal anymore. In fact, anybody who didn't order by 8/10/02 got their orders canceled (per a gateway CSR). Those of you lucky enough to have gotten your drives still qualify for the rebate, but for the rest of us, this deal is a goner...
