Hi all,

To make a long story short. A friend ended up suing the company that put in his security system. 8 cameras total. The computer that was used kept on crashing. The settlement was he would return the computer for a partial refund and I am now stuck trying to duplicate the system.

It has a low end pcix vid card AND A VID CARD ON A REGULAR PCI SLOT THAT THE 8 CAMERAS ARE ATTACHED TO.

This is what that video card looks like:

Any help in identifying this vid card or a similiar one that would do the job would be forever appreciated.

Thanks, Leigh

"Sorry, this GeoCities site is currently unavailable."

Why would you want to duplicate the system if it kept on crashing? Why not spec a new, stable computer?

Are you sure it is a PCI-X video card? If so, it should be easy to find, as they are exceptionally rare. Also, upload the pics to BBZZDD, as your transfer limit has been reached on the Geocities site.

That's definitely a PCI card, PCI-X is much larger than that (though backwards compatible with PCI).

How is PCI-x backwards compatible with PCI? I don't even own a PCI-x Board but I know the PCI-e x16 Slots are even longer than AGP8x and the the slots get shorter as you go down in Lanes and I thought x1 PCI-x Slots were only about an inch long as opposed to a PCI 2.3 slot which somewhere around 3-4 inches ( to lazy to actually measure) not that I'm trying to be nitpick but this is really somes thing I'm not sure about and is there anything other than SATA II boards and these spcial DVR boards that use PCI-x1. So far the only purpose I have noticed is something for reviewer to complain about when a Dual slot Graphics card blocks one.
clarification?

Its a PCI Card. I downloaded the Instruction and read the Install part

PCI-X != PCIe/PCI Express. Please don't randomly comment on stuff you don't understand; it will just confuse other people.

PCI-X is a server expansion board spec that is basically a much higher-speed version of PCI -- but is totally unrelated to PCIe. I know, they picked a crappy name for PCI Express given that they already had a spec called PCI-X.

PCI-X != PCI-E

(Thanks matthias99) The amount of people calling PCI-Express "PCI-X" is what causes this confusion in other people.

PCI-X cards, while having a largely extended slot attachment, still retain the notches in the right place to fit into a PCI card slot. They'll just run at the slower PCI speed rather than PCI-X.

If you really want a good hardware and software ID/analysis program, download and install Belard Advisor (free) and it will tell you everything you might want to know about your computer, even software ID keys and hardware data.
