any other ideas? the vga connection is incredibly annoying with the blurry issues as stated above. I'm determined to get the dvi to work.

Yeah, i had checked that but thanks. I finally got the VGA input to work after installing new Nvidia drivers among other things, not sure which thing actually got it to work. The DVI connection still refuses to work, however. The computer has a DVI-I connection but the monitor is DVI-D...

At home my Dell 2005FPW works perfectly fine. I brought it to work today and it will not work. It is a Dell Workstation 450, it is running a Quadro FX 500 video card with both VGA and DVI support. I have tried hooking up the 2005FPW via VGA and DVI, in both cases the monitor gets no signal...

OK, so i think i am just going to go with a cheap/inexpensive/low cost graphics card for now. It will be at least a year or more before i'll need dual DVI, so i'll upgrade later if need be. I will have a new computer altogether at that time anyways. You have confused me a little bit with the...

Finally made it home and looked at my system: XP 1700+ Processor ASUS A7N266 motherboard with 2 available PCI slots, 1 available AGP slot Judging by what i've found online and looking at my motherboard, there are no PCI express slots on my board. So still go with PCI?

thanks for the advice everyone, glad to see you don't snub the nooB's around here

another good point, haha... this is why i ask questions. I always forget about the little things.

good point, and well taken... i don't do any high-end gaming, no first person shooters, etc.. for the purposes of this decision we can just assume i do NO gaming. If you could give me a rough idea of what time of gaming i could do with the cards that are recommended, that would be great just in...

I built my computer.... a year or two ago. I believe i used an AMD 1600+, but im not 100% sure. I know for a fact it had PCI slots, not sure if they were PCIe or not. But in any case, lets just assume i do have PCIe until I can determine otherwise i guess. DeathBUA: any reason you narrowed...

I have both slots available i *THINK*. I'll have to check when i get home... what are the advantages/disadvantages? I've been outta the game for waaaay too long.

So i've recently purchased a Dell 2005FWP widescreen 20.1" LCD monitor. I want to upgrade my video card to one with a DVI output to take full advantage of the monitor's capabilities. I don't do much in the way of gaming, so I don't need a truely amazing graphics card. I'd like to keep it under...
