Go and grab a 8500 GT, those have 1 DVI and 1 VGA, and is usually around 80-$100. I have one spare, but might need it later for my brother computer, but I'll ask if he wants it, if not i'll sell it to you for $60.

Newegg.com - XFX PV-T86J-YAHG GeForce 8500GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Here are picture I just took of it, very handy to have a good camera :angle:

Its only been used for about 3 months, then I swapped it out for a 8600 GTS on my computer. Doesn't compare to the 8800 GTX Ultra :twist:

Newegg.com - MSI NX8400GS-TD256E GeForce 8400GS Support up to 512M (256MB onboard) 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

You need DVI-D, those are already approx $30+

Whats wrong with the 8500GT, higher models are the best, dont go for the lowest, 8400, psh.. xD

Thanks, that was pissing me off....didnt get dvi-i and all that. Dvi-i from the card to dvi-d to the monitor needs a dvi-d to dvi-d, eh? CONFUSING! By the way 6 foot dvi-d cable was $9 bucks...akways trying to make me waste my cash, tsk tsk :shakehead:

Kam, answer this...how will I disable my onboard card?? Do I just uninstall all drivers or what?

Once you pop it it, the onboard is disabled.
