God bless extended warranties!

So the fan died on my GF3 Ti500 video card which caused it to overheat and crash a lot....

I had a 2 year extended warranty through Compusa so I took it back and after the store credit was given back to me, I picked up a Radeon 9700 All in Wonder for only $150! Of course I bought the 2 year warranty again to cover the card.... I cant wait to install this thing and check it out!

Quick ? I really wanted a 9700 Pro so that I could do dual monitors, but they were all sold out so I bought the 9700 AIW. They told me at the store that the AIW could do dual monitors, but I dont think so... I havent seen any literature on it, and there is only a DVI output... they told me there was some other cable that would allow a second monitor to be hooked up, but I dont see anything... anyone have any ideas?

on my ATI card there is only one dvi out also...however i just run the vga to my other monitor and it works fine

There is only 1 DVI out and no VGA out...

I just found its not dual monitor

I do have Tivo capabilities now though!

I had a tech call me yesterday looking for a part for a stove manufactured in 1958. The customer kept renewing the PA. For 45 years.

You could use a couple of 3.06 PIV's as replacement heating elements! LOL! Hey, as long as the customer keeps renewing his warranty. Where would you get parts for an ancient stove?
