nothing wrong choosing a x700 pro

DVI is a newer technology / digital ..

just think about optical vs. analougue speakers

btw, i think AIW x800 XL is PCI-e version, but the AIW x800 XT is AGP
if i'm not mistaken

Isn't your Dell 1905FP compatible with DVI?

Yes it has a DVI-D VGA 15 PIN USB Upstream 4 USB Downstream. So why you ask is there somthing i should know?

some graphic cards comes with one VGA & one DVI ..
while some comes with dual DVI ..

so you can take the advantage of DVI ports

So are you saying i need a graphics card with dual DVI????

zy · 19th Dec 2005, 03:12 AM

nopez.. its optional

its up to you if you really want to use DVI for both monitors..

Yes, I think you do if you want dual DVI. I doubt your onboard card has 2 output.

plus i dont think it is possible to run extended desktop by using onboard & the GAP card together ..

of course you can.

with the best multimonitor management application, Ultramon

with ultramon, you also get independent taskbar on each additional monitor that displays tasks on that monitor, not sharing em'

Nope, you can't. Once you plug in a graphics card, the onboard will be disabled.
