MANEMAN Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi George. It sounds as though you probably want something like this: http://www.amazon.co...d/dp/B0024CV3SA You'll find cheaper versions if you Google for it. John.

rong Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 You say you have two 2 graphics cards fitted what are they and is one of them a different fitting or are the monitors different fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george riley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 my mistake i only have the one card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 So the problem is that you have two different fittings on the card and one is different to the ones on your monitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george riley Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 that is correct my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANEMAN Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 O.K. So where does this thread go to now ? Or is it just a full of suspense cliffhanger ? John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george riley Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 sorry john ive been a bit busy it says in my system that my card is a sis 650/651/740/661fx/741/760 which means nothing to me so if i needed a new one what would i be looking for?

bludgard Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 sis 650/651/740/661fx/741/760 Could it be a driver for the graphics card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 What you seem to need is an adaptor (if it is available) for the fitting that's not compatable with the spare monitor. What does speccy give as your grafics card? the one you mention seems to come up as an intergrated one. One of the experts could possably point you in the right direction as to the fittings on you card and what you could get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george riley Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 this is what speccy comes up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george riley Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 ive taken a couple of piccies it might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 George, I presume that you normally plug your monitor into the blue connector at the top ? The bad news is - your card (as held up) is a Sound card - not a graphics card. The black connector is not for a monitor :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Can you post a picture of your motherboard, showing its expansion slots so that I can tell you whether you can fit a graphics card, rather than use on-board graphics.

Boris Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks rong :) That will take an AGP 4x graphics card - IF George can source one (relatively obsolete now !)
