I'm not trying to sell anything just want you to see the picture
I got a ATI 8500LE and this is exactly how my video card looks likeLink
And I brought this and the one in newegg and it's still doesn't fit into my dvi port
I just want to ask all the experts in this board where can I find an adapter that will fit my dvi port
Thank you very much

*plz look at the holes carefully, they are different*

what is the prob? your card has both VGA and DVI???? use the VGA. and the adapter you say you have looks correct, maybe it's a tight fit?

well the problem is that i want to use two monitor and both of them are vga
so i need an adapter to change it to dvi

when u look closely to the first picture in the first link
the dvi port has only the "minus" hole and not the "cross" one with four stick around it
the second link is the one for the "cross" one with the four sticks
u understand what i'm trying to say?

That particular LE doesnt have the second RAMDAC... that means NO analog signal, hence the missing cross pins... sorry, only a VGA monitor and a DVI monitor on that card.

Thanks for your help
So that's mean I can only buy an expensive LCD that has dvi right?
Any recommendation for a cheap and nice LCD?
