Heh, many of the cheap video cards are exactly that: cheap. I would expect very, very few to last long.
When I need more than 2 monitors on my workstations I find these are some of my best bets: nVidia NVS440 quad-head video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133165 nVidia NVS290 PCI-E 1x dual-head video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133211 nVidia NVS290 PCI-E 16x dual-head video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133210 I have used the first two in several of our Dell Precision 380s and 390s with good results. The last one is the same card found in the newer Dell Precision T3400s, IME they all Just Work in the older PCI-E Dells (including old OptiPlex GX280s) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Digging deeper, I'm noticing that an ATI card shows in the PCI slot in the > BIOS setup.
