  1. I have a Mag Innovision LT530c LCD monitor...and it hooks up to the PC using a DFP connector.
    The card that I had it hooked up to, was AGP ATI Rage LT Pro...but I want tonow hook it up to a PCI slot on a eMachine. However I haven't been able to find a PCI card with at lease 32 mg, with a DFP connector on it. Does anyone know where i can get one cheap?
    The eMachine already has a 64 mg on-board video adapter, but I'd rather use a PCI one.
    The eMachine T2792 (2.70ghz celeron) also does not have a AGP slot....therefore the reason for needing a PCI card with DFP 20 pin connector. I need to get this card quickly so please reply quickly...thanks

    You could get a PCI video card with DVI out and one of these DVI>DFP adapters:


    I found this one on the net for about $15US. http://www.cyberresearch.com/store/industrial-monitors-displays-swivel-mounting-arms/m...FMF_3754.5.htm They seem to be easy to find. Probably a better solution than trying to find a DFP video card to your liking. May depend on the type of DVI socket the PCI card has, but you may find one that works.

    And welcome to our forums.

  3. Thank you for the fast reply...and the welcome aboard. Yes, I was thinking about going that way...but I didn't want to buy two devices. But it looks like I'll have to.

    Now I got to find a card with DVI, that shouldn't be too hard...my main computer already has one... nVidia GeForce FX5200...I hope I don't have to spend too much, being that the Mag LCD
    doesn't have a really good res etc. I really only need a 32 perhaps or 64mg. Let me know if you run across one,will you?

    There are several 'flavors' of DVI connectors. This site has a graphic of some: http://www.cablestogo.com/resources/dvi.asp Or this one has a little more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVI

    That one could be a DVI-D (Digital). The other similar one is a DVI-I (Analog/Digital), that includes a analog output. These are commonly used with a adapter for analog monitors, such as VGA. I use one of these for a second VGA output for one of my monitors from the DVI connector.

  6. This is a picture of the connector that my monitor has,
    all words in blue were added by me.

    The video card thats in the P3 right now has the female
    built-in, ...I require a card that I can install into the eMachine
    that has also the female, but it must be in PCI only
