Hi guys, I'm currently doing a project and I need a PCI graphics card that has DVI output. As these things are pretty obsolete these days I was wondering whether or not anyone on here had something I could buy off them cheap? I'm considering buying this one but don't want to splash the cash just yet as there's a good chance the PCI gfx project may not work anyway!
Basically what I want to do is run one PC but have 2 seperate displays which can be used independantly with seperate keyboards. I've found the software which I can do this with but it renders my 3D Nvidia Vision useless so I would like to try with a second gfx card installed - unfortunately I don't have a second PCI-E slot so it has to be an original PCI card.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated, cheers.

Cheers mate, that does indeed look pretty tasty but at £66 the stakes are too high for me to gamble on 
Think I will just get a cheap one with DVI and see whether or not it works, if it does then I might consider upgrading to something like this.

Great to see you over here on the new forum cifa, we can't be far off having all the old regulars back now
I'd love the card mate if you've got one up for grabs. Just been through my pile of bits and bobs and I have a couple of AGP cards but no spare PCI ones so that would be a massive help. I'll PM you now, cheers pal.

Re: [Wanted] PCI (Not PCI-E) Graphics Card
Got it thanks mate and yes I am having fun with it. Worked right out of the box for TVHeadend which also works great on the PVR branch of XBMC. Not had chance to try it out with the xboxes yet or setup MythTV (looks like that's a bit more complicated than TVHeadend so I might need a few spare hours for that one!). Thanks once again mate, I've also been playing with your xboxhdm2.2a release today... I really do like the fact I can use USB but even that wouldn't sort out my problems Looks like I have to order a modchip.
