I have a store bought machine. It has on board video. My question is, is there any way to get the video out. ie splitter off of the monitor cable? If I need to put in a card, is there anything I should know about removing the oem drivers? Thanks Seahawker
Onboard video is never as good as adding a video card. When you add a card, it will automatically bypass the onboard video, so you have nothing to worry about with the oem drivers. Best to leave them in fact, in case you have a problem with the card, you can still use your monitor, after taking card out.
JVC some of the newer Nvidia mobos have smoking on board vid,least fornon gaming stuff seen one that had dual out 1 vga 1 dvi on a DDr 2 mobo all and all nice for for a slim non gameing PC
JVC hehe I jsut came across it myself a friend wants to build a rackmount rig to slip into his DJing equipment http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131014 very slick mobo they have a 939 version as well the only one I can tell that new egg has that have basic dual out,I gotta say this would be prefect anything and maybe even light gaming anything 3-4 years old it should be able to handle well that might be pushing it,I found a U2 case that has normal slots no bloody riser card to fool with that means you can stick a PCI E card into it,you could build a mean little media center PC around this it has 2 PCI slots and well unless you are gadget happy you only need 1 for a audio card since anything else can run off USB. Altho 95% of the time you want to skip on board vid unless its for a backup or office work,still thats a nice little mobo for general use.
