Video Card

  • Today, I need to order the new video card for our new desktop.
  • It needs to support dual screens and be less than $100
  • I'm thinking of doing the setup that works for Larry's computer. DVI splitter into 2 monitors.
  • On that note, I will need a DVI splitter cable ($20?)
  • Looking over my notes from last time, I see that I listed 512MB ATI RADEON HD4670,Dual DVI/ plus single DVI VGA adapter
    • Dual DVI ports would solve the splitter problem. I will look into this card a bit more and see what I can find out about it.
    • From the reviews I have read, it is a good card for the price. The only slight drawback is that it has a fan on it, which takes up space. They mentioned that it kinda blocked the other adjacent port, which I dont know if that would interfere with us putting in a DAQ card
  • Purchasing the card from newegg.com for ~$80 with shipping.
    • Has dual DVI and this model has a smaller fan, so that should help with space
    • Also has a $15 mail in rebate. May look into that once the order is placed
